Recovering the Internal Storage Drive
When you create recovery DVDs/media, only the operating system
files, applications, and drivers originally shipped with the computer
are backed up to the external media and can be restored from this
media. Any files that you created are not backed up on the recovery
DVDs/media. You will need to separately back up the files you
created; for more information, see “Backing up your work” on
page 109.
When you create recovery DVDs/media, the system will prompt
you to insert several blank DVDs or connect one or more USB flash
drives of a certain minimum capacity to your computer. The amount
of space required for storing the recovery files varies by computer
model. Follow the procedure below to determine how much space
you will need for storing your system’s recovery files.
To create recovery DVDs/media:
1 Click Start, All Programs, My Toshiba, and then Recovery
Media Creator.
The TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator dialog box displays.

2 Select DVD or USB Flash from the drop-down lists next to

on the type of external media you want to use.
