Information

Some Toshiba notebook computer models include the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility, which is stored in a special partition on the hard disk drive, along with the system files used for the 'recovery' of the hard disk drive to its original just-from-the-factory default state (contents). 'HDD' in the name of this utility stands for hard disk drive. This on-disk utility is an alternative to the Recovery CD or DVD included with most Toshiba notebook computer models. The following instructions describe how to use this utility.

NOTE: Toshiba strongly recommends that you create recovery CDs/DVDs before using your computer.

The HDD Recovery Utility allows you to:

Restore your hard disk drive to the original factory default state.
Restore just your 'C:' drive, leaving any other drive volumes or partitions you may have created intact.
Restore your hard disk drive to the original factory default state, but without the recovery partition.
Delete your hard disk drive recovery partition without losing the data on your C: drive.
Reinstall drivers and applications which were bundled with your computer.

Creating Recovery CDs/DVDs

Copying the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility and the accompanying system files to a CD or a DVD improves the odds of being able to restore the original factory default state of your hard disk drive in the event of failure, and it allows you to reclaim the space occupied by the special recovery partition used to store the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility on the computer's hard disk drive.

1. Double-click the Recovery Disc Creator icon on the Windows desktop.
This utility may also be launched by clicking Start, then All Programs, then Hard Disk Recovery Utilities.

2. Select CD, DVD, or All Files (to create Recovery media on both CDs and DVDs).

Sample Recovery Disc Creator screen

3. Select the items you want to copy by clicking the checkbox next to an item’s name – recovery files, applications (original bundled drivers and applications), or both the recovery files and applications.

4. Click Burn.

5. Insert a CD or a DVD into your computer’s CD/DVD writable drive, when the utility prompts for it.

The utility will prompt for as many CDs or DVDs required to contain the selected files. If your CD or DVD drive does not support writing, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain Recovery CDs or DVDs for your computer.

6. Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the copy process.

For instructions on using the Recovery CDs/DVDs, see the section below titled 'Hard Disk Drive Recovery using Recovery CDs or DVDs'. Uninstall cold turkey.

Using the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility from the recovery partition

In the event of a hard disk drive failure, you may be able to restore the drive to the factory default state using the on-disk Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility (in the special partition on the hard disk drive).

You can elect to restore the entire hard disk drive to the factory default state, or to restore only the C: drive -- without affecting other partitions (for example, a D: drive) -- or to change the size allocated to your C: drive, and then restore it.

To recover your hard disk drive from a system failure using the utilities stored on your computer’s HDD, follow these steps:

If the computer is running, shut it down -- by clicking Start, then Shut Down, then Shut Down again.
Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard and then depress the computer's power switch. When the computer turns on, the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility screen will appear, presenting three options:
