Vista Installation Disk Problem
I downloaded a game on my Toshiba Laptop last week which crashed my computer. Vista wouldn't start at all and the screen kept prompting me to try the Startup Repair. I tried more than 40 times to follow what the Startup Repair was telling me to do but, at the end of its scan thing, it said that it couldn't repair it for some reason.

I took it to Geek Squad (big mistake) and told them everything that happened. They took in my laptop, saying the could fix it. Three days later they call and say that they need the Vista CD that should have come with my computer to fix it.

I never got a CD with my computer and had I did, I wouldn't have taken it to them and just reinstalled Vista myself!

Is there anyway I can reinstall Vista on my laptop without a CD? I've tried to run it in Safe mode but, no good. It just takes forever to load and then runs the Startup Repair thing, AGAIN.

I'm not worried about saving files or anything; the laptop's a month old.

Thanks in advance.

You need to order some Restore CDs from Toshiba or who ever you bought the Laptop from.
