You need to have the disk in the cd tray and boot up the computer to boot to the disk. If it doesn't not boot to disk or say push any key to boot to cd, then you have to enter bios and change the boot order to boot to cdrom before hard disk! If you need more help doing this, shoot me an email!

You need to access your BIOS chip and then change the boot drive to whatever cd drive you are inserting it into. its called boot meanu or something like that on toshiba. When you start up your computer for like 1 second it will show you what key to press for boot menu. Press it and you will be in like a blue screen with bunch of menus. Please do not touch anything in there besides what I tell you to or you will mess up you r computer.
Ok so in that menu find boot device (you have to use keyboard, instructions what does what is in bottom of screen), then set your boot device to cd drive or whatever you are using, save setting, restart, and then pop the recovery cd into where you specified it. That is eat then read screen instuctions and follow.
Good luck
