I am having this same problem with my laptop holding down zero as in instructed by the manual does nothing and neither does f-11 any ideas? also the "HDDRECOVERY" partition does exist.
Hi Please go into my conputer and check whether u have a recovery partition or not..... If you have... restart your system and tap on F11..... go to recovery partition... U'l get a pop up to create recovery cd's.... Plz create the cd's once u get the pop up
A friend rang me asking for help with his Toshiba Satellite A210
I found out that after facin virus problems with his laptop, she bought Win Vista DVD to re-install the system. She tried installing it and it just couldn't install the proper device drivers!!
Solution:
A. While the laptop is switched OFF, press 0 on the keyboard and keep it pressed, switch the laptop ON then release the 0 key.
Give it 30 seconds and it will start the HDD recovery wizard.
B. While the laptop is switched OFF, press F8 on the keyboard and keep it pressed, switch the laptop ON then release the F8 key.
Give it like 10 seconds and it will start the Advanced Startup Menu. Select the System Repair, and go ahead with re-installing the factory image.
Good luck guys

I have only one partition..that is the C drive. Its 160GB. When I first bought my laptop the recovery disk creator was working..after using my laptop for 2 week its not working. I have not interfered with the drive though..i just installed a number of softwares and thats it. When I try to recover my system by pressing zero key during startup as stipulated in the manual its not working either. NB: after pressing F11 nothing came up.
Yes, I just purchase the Toshiba A200.
When I click on Create Recovery Disk to lauche the application (as describe in User's manual), it's po-up an error message that "no HDD recovery area found". I have double check the system using the computer hard disk management and found the partition is there.
NOTE: the laptop is brand new and just 1 week old. It's run Vista Basic by default.
