What should I do if I want to format my laptop but I don't have the recovery

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100, about 5 years ago I bought it.

Here is the story, I want to format my laptop but I don't have the recovery or Installer Windows Vista DVD disc, the operating system is pre-installed when I bought it. I know that I can download all components/drivers Toshiba Support page. But how I format without Installer Vista? I have the vista product identification number, so I wonder it works if I format it with vista ungenuine copy, but key ID I have to run it?

Thank you very much. All solutions would be very appreciated.

See you soon

Satellite Pro P100 is old model laptop and I do not remember if this model was delivered with or without recovery DVDs. It turns out that all the models shipped without installation disc recorded on HARD drive data recovery and computer laptop owner is able to install this recovery image using HARD drive recovery facility.

Second option was using recovery DVD creation preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator tool. How it works and how to start the HARD drive recovery is described in s manuals that you got with your laptop computer in pdf format. You can also download manuals of this Toshiba support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads.

So what you can do like the first, is to check if can begin installation of HARD drive recovery.

Otherwise, you must install OS using the Microsoft installation disc. As you already know, all of the drivers needed, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba supports the page.
Microsoft product key that you saw at the label belongs to the version of the OS pre-installed and cannot e used for activation if you install OS on your own.
