Creating recovery media
Depending on your system configuration, you may be able to copy
the internal storage drive recovery files to DVD, which gives you
the ability to recover your system if the recovery files have been
deleted from your internal storage drive or if you have replaced
your computer’s internal storage drive.
The system will prompt you to insert several blank DVDs to copy the
internal storage drive recovery files. If your optical disc drive is not a
writable drive, contact Toshiba Customer Support to obtain the
Recovery media for your system.
The Toshiba Customer Support Center in the United States is
