I assume you need to set the laptop to boot from the CD/DVD drive. If Toshiba doesn't have a dedicated PF key to change the boot device then you can use F2, right after you power on the computer, to get into the BIOS. The BIOS should allow you to change the "boot order" so the PC boots from the optical drive before it it tries the hard disk. (just be sure to change it back after your restore).
The "media player" reference is probably a botched translation.
When I last burned recovery media for an HP laptop I used 3 DVD's. But, that was a Vista machine. Perhaps an XP computer can fit on a single DVD.
Good Luck

OK so I had no problem going into the bios to set the laptop to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
So then I started it up and everything looked and acted the same (no problems just the same)
The disk that was created has two folders: "doc" and "system". I cannot find an .exe file anywhere on the disk.
So; I still don't really know how to use this disk or get it started. If anyone knows how to use the Recovery Disk I burned from the Recover Disk Creator that'd be a big help.
I do also have a windows 7 Pro disk that I purchased and used to build the computer I currently use. Can I just insert that disk? The requirements seem to work.

So it would seem that the optical disk is not bootable and the computer moved on to boot from the hard disk.
The COA serial/code on the bottom of the laptop is OEM and will not work with a retail copy of Win7.
