Factory restore hi i have a toshiba satelite L350- M12 i want to restore it to factory settings and i have no disks with it can you please tell me how i can do this thankyou.

If you have lost the restore disc you may need to buy the Restore disc from the Toshiba website. Please visit the following link, enter your laptops serial number and check if a restore disc can be purchased online. If not, you have to take it to the Toshiba service center to get the system restored to factory settings

This is a laptop not a desktop !!
Restoring factory default settings on your computer can be done within a couple of hours, without any need for the recovery discs.
First, you need to back up any data and information that you want to keep, such as documents, pictures, and downloaded email, since everything will be erased from your hard drive after restoring the factory settings on your computer.
If you haven't restored factory settings on your machine before, do not worry.
With proper instruction, you can have your computer back to its original state within a few hours at most.

Restart your computer and proceed to Step 2 before Windows begins to load after reboot.
If you are restoring a Toshiba model, hold down the "0" (zero) key as you turn off the machine, then skip to step three.
2
Access your computer's "PC Recovery" feature by entering the correct button(s) for your machine.
This button varies, depending on the make of your machine.
HP and Dell users will hit the "F11" key, whereas Acer and Sony users will enter "F10."
If you own a Samsung model, use "F4."
3
Select "Destructive Recovery," or "Restore Original Factory Image," from the list of options that appear on the next screen, then click "Continue."
A destructive recovery will erase everything on your machine and reinstall the operating system.
4
Wait as the factory settings are restored on your computer.
Windows will require you to make date, time, and language settings on the next set of screens to follow after your machine restarts.
This process can take anywhere from a half-hour up to 2 hours to complete.

If you have a System Recovery/Restore Partition reboot and use the F keys or the Restore software in the System Tools. Take a look at this :http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/System-Recovery-and-Recovery/How-To-Understanding-System-Recovery-Options-Creating-Purchasing/ta-p/268269

If you were to log on to the toshiba.com web site, I think you may be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies and Driver downloads (if applicable) as required.

Download a user manual for your reference.

Press F8 to get to the recovery partition.

The information is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

You need a restore disk. One can be purchased either from www.toshiba.com or http://restore-disk.com/restore/how/tohow/how-to-factory-restore-toshiba-p205d-s7438.html

Hope it helps!

Hello, Bob.

Use the Recovery CDs that came with the system. If you no longer have them, order them through Toshiba. Here's their website:

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for using FixYa!

You can always reinstall the operating system but you need to buy the software. Then download the device drivers for the laptop. The Toshiba website has all the drivers for your laptop. Another possible solution is for you guys to contact toshiba and ask if they can provide the factory restore CD for your laptop.

Have a nice day.

Hi there,
If it has a recovery partition you should be able to access it by pressing the 0 key while powering the laptop on. Give that a shot and see if the Toshiba recovery wizard comes up.

They come with restore disks. Just pop it in and there you go
