Creating Recovery Media
To create recovery DVDs/media with Microsoft®Windows®7:
1. Click the Start button and, in the Search eld, type Recovery Media Creator. In the
list that appears above, click on your selection.
The TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator dialog box displays.
2. Select DVD or USB Flash from the drop-down list next to “System Recovery
Media,” depending on the type of external media you want to use.
3. 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 les to USB ash drive(s).
4. Do one of the following:
• If you are copying les to DVD, insert a blank DVD into the optical disc drive.
• If you are copying les to a USB ash drive, connect a USB ash drive of the
required minimum capacity (as specied in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
utility) to your computer.
All information stored on your DVDs or USB ash 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.
NOTE: If you are copying the recovery les 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.
