Just bought Satellite C660 and need some information please

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 1 t 1 and have some important questions, I would like to meet you please. I have looked for answers, but could find nothing specific.

The first question I have is that when I turned on my new laptop and installed Windows 7, I noticed he had partitioned my hard drive to 500 GB in two for a 232 GB C: Windows and a 232 GB data D:
I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition? As on a previous Samsung Netbook, I could choose how much space I wanted to a backup disk, but does not remember seeing a similar option on the Toshiba startup options? If someone could confirm it please that you can't change the size of the partition to installation of commissioning, it would be a relief, because I am worried, it was my fault the score is so great.

The second I have is that when the driver updates are released to update my driver graphics and any other material, which is the best piece of software Toshiba I should use to find and update the material? As there seems to be a lot of them pre-installed and they seem to all updated software?

The third question is: are there specific pieces of software toshiba which should start up when I start my PC? As I will try to stop programs unimportant all begin when starting my new laptop until reduced startup time.

Finally (sorry for so many questions) someone could explain to me why its so important to create a "recovery disc" and why it seems that I must do this as soon as possible? I'm really not at all, or the importance to create one as soon as you get your new laptop.

Thank you very much for all the help that I tried to find answers to these questions and noticed that everyone on these forums seems to be very competent and friendly :)

Aaron Hello and welcome to Toshiba support forum

At first, I must say that you are doing very good. It is best to ask first before you start to experiment and screw something up. A lot of people changing all implement and later wonder why some software stuff don t work anymore.

I have a little experience with Toshiba and will try to help you. So let's go.
> I was wondering if there was a setting that I had missed during my first installation of Windows 7 where I could change the size of the partition?
When you start a laptop for the first time be preinstalled recovery image will install and you will have a laptop with factory settings. This HARD drive partitions are standard. After the first start the most important is to create recovery DVDs. After having done that, you can do with your computer laptop all you want. You can delete the partitions. Change the ability scores, install OS clean, but you will be able to install the original Toshiba recovery image using this disc. It is very important.

Of course, you can install os using HDD Recovery mode - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
In general, you can change the structure of the partitions but it may happen that there will be problems to start HARD drive recovery after doing this, but if you create recovery DVDs there is no problem for you.

> The second I have, is that when the driver updates...
In General, you should not install updates, especially not for Toshiba tools and utilities. My advice to you is: don change well equipped with operating system. What can you possibly update is display driver, but please use driver Toshiba only.

> are there specific pieces of software Toshiba which should start up when I start my PC?
Much preinstalled stuff slow startup and notebooks in general performance. So that you can disable some startup applications (MSCONFIG > startup) or even to remove them from the system. For example, you can remove Tempro, information tool product Toshiba, remove an application preinstalled antivirus and install something better like Avira Antivir. At startup, you can turn off the zooming utility, application, Adobe Reader, Google update, check laptop Toshiba webcam and so on. I turn off even more things and leave just more important tools.

I hope that I have answered this already, but here is the content of the Toshiba Recovery callback:

* Important INFORMATION *.

* your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need to repair your computer in the restaurant to the original factory condition, you can do it directly on the hard disk (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a bootable recovery for this fin.* drive carrier

* Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original state that is installed at the factory, even if your computer is severely damaged.*

If you have any other questions you are welcome.
