If you have previously chosen to remove the recovery partition and are
trying to create "Recovery Media", the following message apppears: "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 Hard Disk Drive
A portion of the total Hard Disk 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 Hard Disk 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 Hard Disk Drive, you might find that it becomes
impossible to set up your computer.
