Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
The system will prompt you to insert several blank DVDs to copy the
internal storage drive recovery files. If your optical disc drive is not a
writable drive, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain the
Recovery media for your system.
The Toshiba Customer Support Center in the United States is
(800) 457-7777; outside the United States it is (949) 859-4273.
To create recovery DVDs/media:
1Connect an optional external writable optical disc drive.
2Click Start, All Programs, My Toshiba, and then Recovery
Media Creator.
3Select DVD (to create Recovery media on DVD).
4Select the items you want to copy by clicking the check box
next to the item’s Name—recovery files, applications (original
bundled drivers and applications), or both the recovery files
and applications.
5Click Create.
6Insert a blank DVD into your optional external writable optical
disc drive when prompted.
As you create your recovery DVD set, be sure to label each DVD
sequentially (for example, “1 of 3,” “2 of 3,” etc.), so that you will
know in which order to insert the discs during recovery.
7Follow the on-screen prompts for completing the copy process.
For more information on using the Recovery media you have
created with the preceding steps see “Restoring from recovery
DVDs/media” on page 67.
Restoring from recovery DVDs/media
The recovery process deletes information stored on the internal
storage drive. Be sure to save your work to external media before
executing the recovery.
To purchase an optional external optical disc drive, visit the Toshiba
Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.
