Select DVD or USB Flash from the drop-down list, depending 
on the type of external media you want to use.

If an external optical disc drive is attached, the DVD option becomes 
available in the dialog box.

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).

Do one of the following:

❖

If you are copying files to DVD, connect an optional 
external writable optical disc drive to your computer and 
insert a blank DVD into the 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.

Click the Create button in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media 
Creator utility dialog box.

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 

.

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 

).
