Getting Started
Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
An optional external writable optical disc drive must
be connected to your computer in order for the DVD
option to display in the dialog box.
2 Select
DVD or USB Flash from the drop-down list,
depending on the type of external media you want to
use.
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
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 61.
