I do not fully understand what you mean. However, it does say on the
recovery disc "Recovery And Applications/Drivers." Instructions are also
included on the back. I notice you mentioned that you usually press a
function key at startup. The instructions say that first you place the disc
in. The you power up the computer while holding the "C" key down. Then I
have to release it when the screen reads "Toshiba." After that, it says that
the computer will format the hard disc and install the factory image. And
then I have to follow on screen instructions. Once this process is complete,
it says, I must remove the disc and press any key to restart the computer. I
believe that would do it. I am still worried that it will erase Vista. I
really wouldn't enjoy buying it. Please respond again, thanks.
