This happens quite a bit. The recovery CD is looking for a machine ID from your laptop and didn't find the correct one. You need to download Toshiba's DMI utility (put it on a CD and make it bootable), boot from it, then run DMI Utility and tell your machine it is an A45 series. That'll do it.

For that you need to repair your windows.
Insert recovery disk into cd/dvd rom then when you power up the computer press F1 or F2 or del or ALT+F2 key to enter in bios .
Then go to boot menu and set first boot device as cd/dvd rom then save settings and exit.
Then it boor with recovery disk follow the procedure and choose Repair option for repair windows.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Gateway Direct systems went "media-less" back in September 2004. In the event of a system crash users could either 1) restore their systems from the Recovery Partition OR 2) from the backup media that they were prompted to create on first power-up -- which would provide them with up to 5 blank CD-R discs depending on their system's configuration.

On the factory load of the hard drive, the recovery partition will not contain operating system files. It only contains application and driver files.
The first time the recovery partition is used, it prompts the user to insert their System Recovery CD/DVD to copy files from the CD to the recovery partition.
The Drivers and Applications CD is not bootable and does not contain Operating System files.
The System Recovery CD/DVD is bootable but does not contain any application or driver files.
If the end-user erases the hard drive and restores the computer using the System Recovery CD/DVD and an Applications and Drivers CD, the recovery partition is not recreated.

This means that you will need the operating system restore disc FIRST then the recovery partition will work for you

Remove the disk-drive from the laptop, and connect it to another computer.
Copy all the files from the recovery-media onto the disk-drive.
Reinstall the disk-drive into your laptop.
Run the recovery software from where you copied the files onto the disk-drive.

plz check the manufacture website
