Hi stab,

I think I haven’t good news for you: Restoring to factory settings without Toshiba recovery disk isn’t possible in your case!

First of all I think it’s normal that no recovery disks are delivered anymore with the notebook because you have to create them yourself by using Toshiba recovery disk creator. Therefore it’s recommendable using high quality mediums like Verbatim DVD-R.

I think the only option to get factory settings back is ordering a new recovery disk from Toshiba.

I don’t understand why you didn’t create this disk because after first start if you put the notebook out of box, you get the following message:
Important INFORMATION

your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly
from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer"
and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.

Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure
