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 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.
5
Click 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 DVDs/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 
).
During the internal storage drive recovery process it is strongly 
recommended that your computer be connected to an external power 
source via the AC adaptor.
If you have created recovery DVDs/media for your system, you can 
restore your system from such media, if necessary. For example, if 
your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your 
system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery 
DVDs/media. For instructions on creating recovery DVDs/media, 
see
