Select DVD or USB Flash from the drop-down lists next to
"System Recovery Media" and "Application Discs," depending
on the type of external media you want to use.

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 files
to USB flash drive(s).

Do one of the following:
❖
If you are copying files to DVD, connect an optional
external writable optical disc drive to your computer and
insert a blank DVD into the drive.
❖
If you are copying files to a USB flash drive, connect a
USB flash drive of the required minimum capacity (as
specified in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
utility) to your computer.
All information stored on your DVDs or USB flash 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.

Click the Create button in the TOSHIBA Recovery Media
Creator utility dialog box.

Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the copy process.
NOTE
If you are copying the recovery files 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.
For information on using the Recovery media you have created with
the preceding steps, see
