TOSHIBA HDD recovery disk lost!

[PC Maniac]

Hi. I have just restored my computer after saying that it was missing bootmgr.

I restored it by going onto a website to download the recovery disk using imgburn and utorrent.

Now that it has been restored i went to the start menu and clicked on the toshiba HDD recovery disk creator but my computer is saying:

"there is no valid HDD Recovery environment on this computer". 

Does anyone know how i can recover the HDD recovery disk creator?

I wouldn't worry about it. Just install and run (on a regular basis) a disc imaging utility - it is the best recovery option available and everyone should use one. Acronis True Image is the best but it isn't free. These are: http://www.thefreecountry.com/utilities/backupandimage.shtml

I went to the website you gave me and it looks good to me . I have also downloaded one of the programs off of that website called DriveImage XML and installed it. i am guessing that is my computer ready to be backed up now yes?

Thanks for the website.

i forgot to say that i downloaded the recovery disc.torrent file off of my dad's computer and i have already burned it to a DVD-RW disk using imgburn and utorrent on it aswell. This is the website i downloaded the file from:

That DLoad will not enable a full re0install of the OS should things go awry...it will however load the Recovery Console which has some diagnostics/repair features...

Why not order a full replacement CD from Toshiba ? ?
It can probably be had for the cost of shipping only...
