Toshiba a8-ez8312 User Guide

Your computer has been configured with a hard disk partition 
(available on certain models) 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 to a custom sized partition, leaving extra space to 
create an additional partition later

❖

Erase the hard disk completely

❖

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 Utilities 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 Utilities. 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.
