    Cheers everybody,

    Well i have a Ssatellite M45-s165,and when i turn it on it stays on the windows boot up screen for like 5 mins before it goes to my desktop.I just recently got this laptop from my girlfriend. I asked her for a recovery cd, and well she doesnt know hwre it is. I want to know if theres hidden partition or something i can do so that i can reinstall windows withouth having to use a recovery cd?

    well should be easy go to your laptops site and download the drivers for it and burn them. You would need a legit copy of windows to install on it also.
