Toshiba 100cs Manuel D’Utilisation

A recovery image of your computer is stored on the internal storage 
drive, and the image can be restored by running the recovery 
utilities directly from your internal storage drive as described in the 
sections below. However, it is strongly recommended that you 
create recovery DVDs/media. If the recovery files on your internal 
storage drive become corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your 
system from your recovery DVDs/media. Also, if your original 
internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new 
internal storage drive from your recovery DVDs/media. It is 
strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs/media 
before using your system for the first time. See 

 and 

.

❖

During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly 
recommended that your computer be connected to an external 
power source via the AC adaptor.

The Toshiba Recovery Wizard also provides the option of erasing 
your internal storage drive, without restoring the information on 
the drive. See 

more information.

❖

When you restore your system, only the operating system files, 
applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer 
are restored. Any files that you created are not restored during 
this process. Be sure to separately save the files you have 
created to external media using Windows

 Backup or another 

backup program. For more information, see

Recover without 
changing the internal 
storage drive partitions

This option recovers just your C: drive, leaving any other 
partitions you may have created (for example, a D: drive) 
intact.

Recover to a custom 
size partition

This option allows you to specify a custom size for 
the C: partition and then restores your C: drive to its 
out-of-box state. Note: With this option, any changes you 
made to the C: drive and any other drive partitions you 
may have created are deleted.
