    Hello

    My L505 ( GS5035 ) had come with win 7 home recovery in a 10 GB partition whicj is invisible within windows/my computer

    that recovery/default windows version was working properly .. and i have recovered it 2 times with F8 [ Toshiba recovery wizard ]

    but i decided to set up win 7 ultimate CD .. but i didnt like it

    then i want now to set up the the original win 7 home recovery with all toshiba software

    using F8 is not helpful

    bcoz after installing the win 7 ultimate CD .. F8 is not showing [ Toshiba recovery wizard ] in the list

    the recovery partition [ 10 GB ] isnt damaged or formatted or empty
    ( when i insert any windows CD it shows me all the hard disk partitions/spaces and i see the status of the recovery partition = 10 GB with free only 600 MB of its space )

    but i cant open the recovery partition from within my computer

    and F8 is not helpful now .. after installing the win 7 ultimate CD .. F8 is not showing [ Toshiba recovery wizard ] in the list


    what should i do to re install the original win 7 home/with toshiba software ?

    Get an Windows 7 home cd. Install it with the product key bottom of your laptop. Download what you want from Toshiba.com
    There you go! I don't know of any other way if you have damaged the recovery partition.

    Not sure but I think toshiba recovery software uses c:\boot directory to startup (called as BCD). May be, you need to backup BCD with easybcd program before formatting C:, then restore it.
