If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are
trying to create "Recovery Media", the following message appears: "The
Recovery Media Creator can not be launched because there is no recovery
partition."
When there is no recovery partition, the Recovery Media Creator cannot
make Recovery Media.
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.
When you reinstall the Windows operating system, the internal storage
drive will be reformatted and all data will be lost.
