With my Toshiba Satellite A100 I got a Recovery DVD. Since there are some
small errors constantly popping up, I've decided that I want to reinstall
Windows. The problem is that I can't seem to do it. When I turn off the
computer and run the Recovery DVD it simply doesn't start the installation. I
make sure to choose in BIOS that it starts from the DVD, so that's not the
problem. Could it be that this DVD that I got with my computer cannot be used
to reinstall Windows? I did pay for it, so I don’t get why I’m not able to
reinstall it… Thanks in advance!

What does the documentation that came with your laptop say?
You should also consider contacting Toshiba tech support if the answer still
eludes you. The recovery DVD is a proprietary Toshiba product, and they
should know how to use it.
