    Cannot create Recovery Drive, due to error


    Today I tried to create OS Recovery Drive of the Win7 HP 32bit on my Toshiba laptop
    The Toshiba "Recovery Media Creator" calculated I will need four 4.75 GB DVDs ... not a problem!

    while creating disc #1 the Toshiba builtin tool showed this alert
    (copied with Ctrl+C while the alert was the focus)
    Code:
     ---------------------------
     TOSHIBA Recovery Media Creator
     ---------------------------
     Failed to open the following file. Q:\!V6_00_03.VRP ( Error Code: 020123-F1-00000000 )
     ---------------------------
     OK   
     ---------------------------
    The only option during the stalled create drive process was to "abort"
    -----
    There is no trace of 020123-F1-00000000 on sevenforums.com so I did a DDG search for 020123-F1-00000000."
    ... ie, 020123-F1-00000000 at DuckDuckGo

    First item on DDG results { toshiba error code 020123-f1-00000000 - Tom's Guide }
    took me to toshiba error code 020123-f1-00000000 [Solved] - Laptop Tech Support
    "Laptop_Nerd" is of no help at all !
    I dont want to (cannot) reinstall Win-7 just yet, it is the ONLY internet PC I have.exposed to the web)

    From there I looked at (links from the original "Toms Guide" web page)
    http://www.tomsguide.com/us/s/toshib...0123+00000000/
    and
    How To Fix 00000000 Error?
    ... offering this ...
    Cannot create Recovery Drive, due to error-1_tech-utilities.png

    I am really out of my depth now, and don't want to risk damaging the original recovery partition.

    EDIT

    Just noticed ...
    Code:
    Failed to open the following file. Q:\!V6_00_03.VRP ( Error Code: 020123-F1-00000000 )
    ... but "Q:" is my DVD/cd drive ... would that indicate the DVD drive is faulty, because the generic "~00000000" translates as the system does not have an answer ? (I am no expert )

    I would be very grateful for any help

    Hi SIW2 :)

    Thank you for such a prompt reply. In my rush to create this thread I forget to list my hardware.

    I hope you are not getting yourself into a situation where "recovery" via this set of 4 DVDs is your ONLY means of recovery.
