Then it's not the OEM Installation CD. I would accept no less as consider this kind of recover approach completely useless. I would never accept to have a useless 9 GB partition sitting around just for reinstalls. I would rather by Windows directly from Microsoft than accept that kind of crap. So what I would do is reconsider if I really needed Windows or demand an OEM Installation CD from Toshiba or buy directly from Microsoft or buy a computer from another vendor... And scrap all partitions and start from scratch. -- Bo Andresen
