Restoring the pre-installed software from your created
Recovery Media
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to use the Recovery
Media you have created to restore the computer to the state it was in when
you originally received it. To perform this restoration, do the following:
Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected during the restoring
process.
Make sure to dock the computer to TOSHIBA Keyboard Dock before
restoring the operating system.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the internal storage will
be reformatted and all data will be lost.
1. Load the Recovery Media into the external optical disc drive or insert
the recovery USB Flash Memory into the USB port.
2. In the Settings charm, click Power and then select Restart.
3. Hold down the F12 key (by pressing FN+ "labelled letter key") and
then release this key one second after the computer is power on.
You can hold down the Volume up button until the Boot menu is
loaded.
4. Use the up and down cursor key to select the appropriate option from
the menu according to your actual recovery media.
You can also use the Volume up and the Volume down button on the
computer to select the appropriate option from the menu, and press
the Windows button to confirm the selection.
5. A menu is displayed from which you should follow the on-screen
instructions.
If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition without
creating "Recovery Media", the "Recovery Media" cannot be created.
However, if you have already created a "Recovery Media", you can use it
to restore the recovery partition.
If you have not created "Recovery Media", contact TOSHIBA support for
assistance.
Restoring the pre-installed software from the
Recovery Partition
A portion of the internal storage space is configured as a hidden recovery
partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-
installed software in the event of a problem.
