Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition to 
allow you to recover your hard disk drive or reinstall selected 
applications and software features or utilities. 

It is strongly recommended that you create recovery CDs/DVDs 
before using your system. For more information on creating 
Recovery media see 

Using the HDD Recovery, you can:

❖

Create Hard Drive Recovery CDs or DVDs using a writable 
drive.

❖

Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default.

❖

Recover just your C: drive, leaving any other partitions you 
may have created intact, for example, a D: drive.

❖

Recover your hard disk drive to the factory-set default without 
the HDD Recovery partition.

❖

Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled with 
your computer.

Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to copy 
the hard drive recovery to CD or DVD which gives you the ability 
to recover your hard disk drive and recover your system if the hard 
drive recovery partition has been deleted or the hard disk has been 
replaced on your computer.

The system will prompt you to insert the appropriate number of blank 
CDs or DVDs to copy the hard drive recovery. If your optical disc drive 
is not writable, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain the 
Recovery media for your system.

The Toshiba Global Support Centre in the United States is 
(800) 457-7777, outside the United States it is (949) 859-4273.

To create recovery CDs/DVDs:

Double-click the Recovery Disc Creator icon on the 
Windows

®

 desktop. You can also launch the application by 

clicking Start, All Programs, and then Recovery Disc 
Creator.
