I have a Toshiba Satellite M40 laptop with XP home.
However, the machine came with a proprietary recovery cd.
I want to access the recovery console. I've been all over
the net trying to find a solution. No luck. What I did
find out was that I could: buy a retail copy of XP(duh),
or download the startup diskettes from microsoft(don't
have a floppy drive). The recovery cd from toshiba will
only recover the machine to the out of box state. That is
not an option. Just want to run the fixmbr command. Can
anyone tell me my options? Toshiba does not support
anything other than full recovery(actually, they don't
support much of anything). Now, can I download the
diskette images, and make a bootable cd that will get me
into the recovery console? If not, is there another
solution? Thanks in advance.
