Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
You cannot store your system’s applications on the same drive or
disc/disc set where the rest of the system recovery files are stored.
For example, you will need to store the applications on one USB
flash drive and the system recovery files on another USB flash drive.
Or, store the applications on DVD and the system recovery files on a
USB flash drive, or vice versa.
3 Check 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).
4 Do one of the following:
❖ If you are copying files to DVD, insert a blank DVD into
the optical disc 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 DVDs/media. Be
sure to save the information stored on your external media to another
storage device before executing this procedure, or use blank media.
5 Click the Create button in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media
Creator utility dialog box.
6 Follow 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 DVDs/media” on
page 73.
