Follow the instructions in this Kioskea how-to link:

Good luck

I have tried this method and a few others I found online, I don't think this has a hidden partition. I have downloaded a bootable vista os burnt it to DVD but that doesn't help either.

Hi
All Toshiba's manufactured from 2007 and onward have a recovery partition.

Trying a reset to factory settings other than the method prescribe may corrupt the recovery partition.

Perhaps that you should contact Toshiba to order, purchase their recovery disks.
