Toshiba Satellite C50-A-L6K [99/134] Restoring the pre installed software from your created recovery media

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, follow the steps

below:

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will

be reformatted and all data will be lost.

Please make sure that the Boot Speed is set to Normal. (To access it,

click Desktop -> Desktop Assist (in taskbar) -> Tool & Utilities ->

System Settings -> Boot Options.)

Please make sure to use the default Boot Mode option in the BIOS

setup utility before restoring.

1. In the Settings charm, click Power and then select Restart.

2. Hold down the F2 key and then release this key one second after

the computer is power on - the BIOS setup utility will load.

In the BIOS setup screen, select Advanced -> System Configuration

-> Boot Mode -> UEFI Boot (Default).

If you set the Boot Mode as CSM Boot, the recovery media created by

Recovery Media Creator will NOT be able to restore.

If you create a recovery image using advanced recovery tools from

Control Panel, please also make sure to use the default Boot Mode

option (UEFI Boot) in the BIOS setup utility before restoring.

1. Load the Recovery Media into the Optical Disc Drive or insert the

recovery USB Flash Memory into one available USB port.

2. In the Settings charm, click Power and then select Restart.

3. Hold down the F12 key and then release this key one second after the

computer is power on.

4. Use the up and down cursor key to select the appropriate option from

the menu according to your actual recovery media.

5. A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen

instructions.

If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are

trying to create "Recovery Media", you will see the following message: "The

Recovery Media Creator can not be launched because there is no recovery

partition."

When there is no recovery partition, the Recovery Media Creator cannot

make Recovery Media.

However, if you have already created a "Recovery Media", you can use it

to restore the recovery partition.
