Hello, I have a Toshiba notebook whose cd rom does not work. I bought external dvd writer and would like to reformat using recovery disc but computer does not recognize this when restarting.

No way in BIOS it seems to add this. Can I copy recovery discs to HD and boot from there? Any advice on how to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks,Greg
