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 media. If the recovery files on your internal storage 
drive become corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system 
from your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage 
drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage 
drive from your recovery media. It is strongly recommended that 
you create recovery media before using your system for the first 
time. See

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

 for 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 

Recovering an internal storage drive to its out-of-box state deletes all

Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the 
recovery. For more information, see

You can recover the original factory image (returning the computer 
to its out-of-box state) using the utilities stored on your computer’s 
internal storage drive or using recovery media, if you have created 
such media. To recover using the first method, follow the procedure 
below. To recover using the second method, see
