Toshiba CL10W User Manual page 35

A recovery image of the software on your computer is stored on the internal
storage, and can be copied to either disc media or USB Flash Memory by
using the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Make sure that you create recovery media by using Recovery Media
Creator instead of the recovery drive creating option in Windows system.
Otherwise, Recovery Media Creator will not work and TOSHIBA HDD
Recovery option in TOSHIBA Maintenance Utility will not exist if you
restore the computer from the recovery media you created by options in
Windows system.
Restoring the pre-installed software from your created
Recovery Media
If the pre-installed files are damaged, you are able to use the Recovery
Media you have created to restore the computer to the state it was in when
you originally received it. To perform this restoration, do the following:
User's Manual
Set the computer on a level surface and avoid places subjected to
vibrations such as airplanes, trains, or cars.
Do not use on an unstable surface such as a stand.
Select either blank disc or USB Flash Memory.
The application allows you to choose from a variety of different media
onto which the recovery image can be copied including disc media
and USB Flash Memory.
Some of the disc media might not be compatible with the optical disc
drive connected to your computer. You should therefore verify that the
optical disc drive supports the blank media you have chosen before
proceeding.
USB Flash Memory will be formatted and all the data in the USB Flash
Memory will be lost when proceeding.
Turn on your computer and allow it to load the Windows operating
system as normal.
Insert the first blank disc into the optical disc drive tray, or insert the
USB Flash Memory into one available USB port.
Click Recovery Media Creator under TOSHIBA group in All apps.
After Recovery Media Creator starts, select the type of media and the
title you wish to copy, and then click the Create button.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the internal storage
will be reformatted and all data will be lost.
Make sure to use the default Boot Mode option in TOSHIBA Setup
Utility before restoring.
