How to make a recovery disc for Windows 7 on Toshiba

Toshiba laptops are shipped with a recovery partition on the hard drive that you can use to recover your laptop in the event of a problem with the machine. Because Toshiba laptops come with a built-in recovery partition, they do not have recovery discs. If you feel more comfortable using recovery discs, or if you simply want a recovery disc to have on hand in case the recovery partition fails, you can create a recovery disc using the recovery program Toshiba Recovery Media Creator
