Creating recovery DVDs/media
To purchase an optional external writable optical disc drive for
creating recovery DVDs, please visit the Toshiba Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
It is strongly recommended that you create recovery DVDs/media.
If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become
corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from your
recovery DVDs/media. Also, if your original internal storage drive
fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive
from your recovery DVDs/media.
