If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are trying to create "Recovery Media", you will see the following message: "The Recovery Media Creator can not be launched because there is no recovery partition."

When there is no recovery partition, the Recovery Media Creator cannot make Recovery Media.

However, if you have already created a "Recovery Media", you can use it to restore the recovery partition.

If you have not created "Recovery Media", please contact TOSHIBA support for assistance.

Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery Hard Disk Drive

A portion of the total Hard Disk Drive space is configured as a hidden recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore pre-installed software in the event of a problem.

If you subsequently set up your Hard Disk Drive again, do not change, delete or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise you may find that space for the required software is not available.

In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the partitions on your Hard Disk Drive, you may find that it becomes impossible to setup your computer.

Make sure that the AC adaptor is connected during the restoring process.

When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the hard disk may be reformatted and all data may be lost.

1.Turn off your computer.

2.While holding down 0 (zero) key on the keyboard, turn on your computer. Release the 0 (zero) key one second after the computer is power on.

3.A menu will be displayed from which you should follow the on-screen instructions.

If your computer does not load the Recovery options, please refer to the Troubleshooting section.

You can also perform the restoration through PC settings in the operating system:

1.Click the Settings charm and click Change PC settings.
