Simple Steps:
  • Completely shut down your laptop from the Windows start menu.
  • Remove all external devices connected to the laptop including the mouse, keyboard, thumb drives, USB hubs, Bluetooth adapters, monitors, etc.
  • Connect your laptop to the AC power adapter.
  • Power on your laptop and immediately press and hold down the "0" key (i.e. that's the number zero key). Release the keys when a warning message displays on your screen.
  • If the recovery process offers you an option to chose an Operating System, make sure to select the most appropriate OS.
  • Another warning message will appear notifying you that all data will be deleted once the recovery process starts. Click "Yes" to continue with the recovery process.
  • The Toshiba Recovery Wizard should now open and provide an option "Recovery of Factory Software". Simply select this option and follow the directions on the screen.
