Restoring TOSHIBA utilities and drivers
If Windows is working properly, individual drivers or applications can be
separately restored. The TOSHIBA Tools & Utilities CD-ROM contains
drivers and applications, which were included with your computer system. If
your system drivers or applications have become damaged in some way,
this CD allows you to reinstall most of the components, which are not part
of the Windows operating system.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk will be
reformatted and all data will be lost.
