If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition without
creating Recovery Media, the Recovery Media cannot be created.
However, if you have already created a Recovery Media, you can use it to
restore the recovery partition.
If you have not created Recovery Media, contact TOSHIBA support for
assistance.
Restoring the pre-installed software from the
Recovery Partition
A portion of the total internal storage drive space is configured as a hidden
recovery partition. This partition stores files which can be used to restore
pre-installed software in the event of a problem.
If you set up your internal storage drive again later, do not change, delete,
or add partitions in a manner other than specified in the manual, otherwise
you might find that space for the required software is not available.
In addition, if you use a third-party partitioning program to reconfigure the
partitions on your internal storage drive, you might find that it becomes
impossible to set up your computer.
