Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

option, depending on which type of media you are using, and
then press the

and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.

Refresh your PC (with user’s data)
Using “Refresh your PC” recovers your internal storage drive to
factory default state and attempts to save your data. Toshiba does not
guarantee successful data back-up. Please make a complete back up
of your data to external media before executing the recovery. For
more information, see “Backing up your work” on page 77.
During the recovery process your computer must be connected to an
external power source via the AC adaptor.
You can recover the factory default software (refresh your PC),
while the computer will attempt to back up your data using the
utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage drive:
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your data will be copied into the backup folder.
All of the data will be moved to this folder during the recovery
process, however the current directory structure will be retained.
