Hello Casey,

This link below at Toshiba will show you how to create a set of Vista
Recovery Discs if you are still able to (if not to corrupted) from the
OEM recovery partition. If you are able to, these will reinstall Vista
and your Applicationtion & Drivers on the new drive.

'How to use the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility'

Hope this helps,
Shawn
