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 alternative to the Recovery CD or DVD
included with many other Toshiba notebook models. The following instructions describe how to use
this utility.
