Getting Started

Recovering the Internal Storage 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.

5 Click or touch 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 media” on page 50.

Restoring from recovery 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

“Backing up your work” on page 76).

During the recovery process your computer must be

connected to an external power source via the AC

adaptor.

If you have created recovery 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 media. For instructions on creating recovery media,

see “Creating recovery media” on page 48.
