Restoring The Pre-Installed Software From The Recovery Hard Disk Drive - Toshiba Satellite P200 Series User Manual

Restoring the pre-installed software from the
Recovery Hard Disk Drive
A portion of the total hard disk drive space is configured as a hidden recovery
partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-installed
software in the event of a problem.
If you subsequently set up your hard disk drive again, do not change, delete
or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise
you may find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your hard disk drive, you may find that it becomes impossible
to setup your computer.
When the sound mute feature has been activated by pressing the Fn + Esc
key, be sure to disable this to allow sounds to be heard before starting the
restore process. Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details.
You can not use System Recovery Options if restoring the pre-installed
software without System Recovery Options. When you reinstall the
Windows operating system, the hard disk will be reformatted and all data
will be lost.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your computer.
