Toshiba c875-s7205 Hard drive is shot. I have another computer that is exactly the same model.

Can I create the recovery discs from the other computer, replace the hard drive of the dead one, and re-install the OS using those discs?

Also, if the first question's answer is yes... Will the discs also partition the new drive to include the recovery partition?

Yes and yes.
Probably to both.
