Recovering the entire HDD without the HDD
Recovery Area
This option recovers your C: drive without creating the HDD
Recovery Utilities partition. This will increase the size of
your C: drive.
Recovering your C: drive to its factory default state without the
recovery partition reformats all partitions on the HDD (for
example, if you created a D: drive, it will be deleted during the
recovery process), and your information will be lost. Be sure to
save your work on external media before proceeding.
To recover your C: drive without the recovery partition:
1 Press 3 on the keyboard when the TOSHIBA HDD Recovery
Utility screen displays. A confirmation message appears,
reminding you that all partitions will be reformatted and all
data will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure you have
saved your work on external media before proceeding.
2 Click Ye s to begin the restoration. Once complete, a
message displays that the HDD has been recovered.
3 Press any key on your keyboard to restart the computer.
