  However, the computer Toshiba laptop with Vista have a HARD drive recovery function. On the second partition is a file called "HDDRecovery". It contains the image of the factory settings, and so you can reinstall the laptop without CD/DVD.

  In addition, you can also burn the recovery disks with the Toshiba recovery disc creator and you should do it too. If a faulty HARD drive or something else you need this floppy and otherwise, you must pay for it.
