Hello everyone,
I am rather inexperienced with working on laptops so bear with me please.
My Toshiba Laptop C675D-S7109's Hard drive died on me.
I ordered a new one and installed it into the Laptop.
It recognized the new HDD, but takes me directly to System Recovery Options.
There it does NOT list my OS.
I've read on many forums that you MUST have the Toshiba Recovery disk, is this true?
Can I just pop my Windows 7 CD in and go about it that way?
Would love to avoid spending $40 on the damn recovery cd since i just spent $60 on a new HDD.
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
