Toshiba Notebook NB205-N311/W Recovery

Anyone know if Toshiba NB205-N311/W have recovery partition and if so, how to access it?

I tried F8 and a few others but in the menu I see no recovery/restore option.

This Notebook have no CD Drive and he don't have the CD that came with it. Guess no CD since no drive and to me it should have the partition.

At the moment we cannot access windows to see what is going on there.

I am just trying to reinstall XP for a friend.

Thanks
Dave

Yes it has a recovery partition.

Does your friend have recovery disks for his notebook ?
