I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6857. The model number is PSAG0U-02701V. My OS is Windows Vista 64bit Service Pack 2. I was on the Toshiba Forums and asked if I had a recovery partition on my hard drive because I was trying to reset it back to factory settings. I was told that I have no recovery partititon; the small one that is shown is the recovery enviornment.

I want to know if there are any free alternatives to getting Recovery Disks other than ordering them from the Toshiba website? Or if there is another way to reset my computer to factory default without a recovery partition? Thanks.

You can browse forums and file hosting sites or look at torrents but since those all involve getting the recovery image from an untrusted individual end user, it's not ideal. Your best bet is to go through Toshiba for recovery media, unfortunately.
