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.
