Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
If an external optical disc drive is attached, the DVD option becomes
available in the dialog box.
3Check the “Information” area of the dialog box to determine
the number of DVDs you will need and/or the minimum
amount of storage space required for copying your system’s
recovery files to USB flash drive(s).
4Do one of the following:
❖If you are copying files to DVD, connect an optional
external writable optical disc drive to your computer and
insert a blank DVD into the drive.
❖If you are copying files to a USB flash drive, connect a
USB flash drive of the required minimum capacity (as
specified in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
utility) to your computer.
All information stored on your DVDs or USB flash drive(s) will be
erased during the process of creating the recovery media. Be sure to
save the information stored on your external media to another
storage device before executing this procedure, or use blank media.
5Click the Create button in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media
Creator utility dialog box.
6Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the copy process.
If you are copying the recovery files to DVDs, be sure to label each
DVD in the set sequentially (for example, “1 of 3,” “2 of 3,” etc.), so
that you will know in which order to insert the discs during recovery.
For information on using the Recovery media you have created with
the preceding steps, see “Restoring from recovery media” on
page 56.
