Creating Optical Recovery Discs

This section describes how to create Recovery Discs.

A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the hard

disk drive, and can be copied to DVD media by using the following steps:

1. Have a blank DVD media ready.

2. The application will allow you to choose from a variety of different media

onto which the recovery image can be copied including DVD-R,

DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW.

3. Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows 7 operating

system from the hard disk drive as normal.

4. Insert the first blank media into the optical disc drive tray.

5. Select the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator application from the

Windows 7 Start menu.

6. After Recovery Media Creator starts, select the type of media and the

title you wish to copy, and then click the Create button.

7. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Your Recovery Discs will be created.

■ Be sure to connect the AC adaptor when you create Recovery Discs.

■ Be sure to close all other software programs except the Recovery Disc

Creator.

■ Do not run software such as screen savers which can put a heavy load

on the CPU.

■ Operate the computer at full power.

■ Do not use power-saving features.

■ Do not write to the disc when the virus check software is running. Wait

for it to finish, then disable virus detection programs including any

software that checks files automatically in the background.

■ Do not use utilities, including those intended to enhance hard disk

drive access speed. They may cause unstable operation and damage

data.

■ Do not shut down/log off or Sleep/Hibernate while writing or rewriting

the disc.

■ Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subjected to

vibrations such as airplanes, trains or cars.

■ Do not place your computer on unstable tables or any other unstable

surfaces.

Please note that some of the above media may not be compatible with the

optical disc drive installed into your computer. You should therefore verify

the optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen before

proceeding.
