I'm trying to restore my Toshiba 215 laptop. There are no markings on it all I know is its a A215. When I try to find a system restore disk online there are so many different ones. Most of them are A215 disks ,but they have dashes then 5 other numbers. I don't know what to get could anyone TELL me how to find the entire number. If not could someone suggest to me what else I could do.  If you do a SEARCH at the Toshiba site there will be the procedure for Factory Restore from the hidden partition...you may not even need the CD's but why would they not send them to you ? ?Hi

This is a procedure i found online for your laptop

Turn the Toshiba Satellite A215 computer off.
Press and hold the "0" key. Turn the computer on.

Release the "0" key when the Toshiba Recovery Wizard screen appears.

click to select "Recovery of Factory Default Software" and then click "NEXT."

Click to select "Recover to out-of-box-state" and then click "Next."

Click "Next" on the confirmation screen to begin the recovery process.

Press any key on the keyboard to restart the computer when prompted. The computer boots up to the Windows setup screen.

I hope this helps

PS most Toshiba's have a make recovery Cd's in the Toshiba group on the start menu 
So if you can still start windows It's good to make those disks
