Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
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
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 or touch 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 media” on page 59.
Restoring from recovery 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 (see
“Backing up your work” on page 84).
During the recovery process your computer must be
connected to an external power source via the AC
adaptor.
