Creating Recovery DVDs
Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to copy
the hard drive recovery to DVD which gives you the ability to
recover your hard disk drive and recover your system if the hard
drive recovery partition has been deleted or the hard disk has been
replaced on your computer.
The system will prompt you to insert the appropriate number of blank
DVDs to copy the hard drive recovery. If your optical disc drive is not
writable, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain the Recovery
media for your system.
The Toshiba Customer Support Center in the United States is
