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.
