Recovering the Internal Storage Drive

You can recover the factory default software, while the computer

will attempt to back up all of the data from the C:\Users using the

utilities stored on your computer’s internal storage drive:

TECHNICAL NOTE: The data from C:\Users will be copied into the

C:\backup%current date% folder. The directory structure will be

retained, however all of the data will be moved to this folder during

the recovery process. As a result, any user can access the folders

under C:\backup%current date%. To return the data to your private

account, you will need to recreate a new account, and drag and drop

the data into your personal folders.

1 Make sure the computer is turned off.

2 While powering on your computer, press the

F12 key when the

initial TOSHIBA screen displays.

The boot menu appears.

3 Using the arrow keys to scroll down, select the HDD Recovery

option, and then press the

ENTER key.

4 If your system offers a choice of Windows

7 32-bit or 64-bit

operating system, select one at this time. If not, skip to step 5.

5 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is

executed, all data will be deleted and rewritten unless the

“Recovery of Factory Default Software with user’s data”

option is selected in the next step. Click Yes to continue.
