[QUOTE="donetao, post: 333149, member: 27614"] To recover your internal storage drive from recovery DVDs/media: To complete this thread, I have added this procedure if you were smart enough to create your restore to factory media. 1 Make sure your computer is turned off. 2 Do one of the following: ❖ If your recovery files are on DVDs, insert the first recovery DVD into your optical disc drive. ❖ If your recovery files are on a USB flash drive, connect the USB flash drive to your computer. 3 Turn on your computer. When the initial TOSHIBA screen displays, press the F12 key on your keyboard. The boot menu displays. 4 Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option or the USB Flash option, depending on which type of media you are using, and then press the Enter key. 5 A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data on your internal storage drive will be deleted and rewritten unless the “Recovery of Factory Default Software with user’s data” option is selected. Click Yes to continue. 6 When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the “Selecting a process” screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default Software, and then click Next. 7 Select one of the following options: ❖ Recover to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method)—If you want to recover the original factory image ❖ Recovery of factory default software with user’s data—If you want to the recovery the factory default software, while the computer attempts to back up all data from C:\Users ❖ Recover without changing the hard drive partitions—If you want to recover the C: partition only, leaving other partitions you have created intact ❖ Recover to a custom size partition—If you want to recover the C: drive to its out-of-box state and specify a custom size for the C: drive. Note: This option deletes all other partitions from the drive. 8 Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process. When the recovery process is complete, a message displays indicating that the drive has been recovered. 9 Click Finish to restart the computer. [/QUOTE]
