    Toshiba restore

    My Toshiba NB100 netbook really needs have Windows re-installed on it as it's been infected with some form of malware and the system is just dead slow. Now I heard that these netbooks have a recovery partition on them?

    Is there any way that I can access it? seeing as a netbook doesn't even have a CD drive!

    From what I know, when you boot, there is usually a F key that allows you to do recovery.

    If you don't see it, hit F1 or F10 to get into bios setup and see if there is an advanced function to do a recovery.

      Re: Toshiba restore

      well using acronis disk director, i was able to find two partitions in there.... one being the main 107GB for personal use and the other labelled *HDDRECOVERY*, with a size of 3.9GB. So that definitely means there is a restore partition in there...

          That's what it usually is for toshiba. Hold in 0 (Zero) while powering on.
          I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

          No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards
