What If My Hard Drive Fails?

[Seema Bhati]

Hello, I am thinking to buy a Toshiba L505D-S5986 Laptop now. in a few days. As I am trying to buy it, I want to get the details about it. Suppose, if my hard drive fails to boot, then how can I able to get the solution for my new hard drive. Can I simply make use of then recovery media, if I have taken backup of that in the CD and DVD? Or if it is needed to buy it from the Toshiba. Is there anything extra which will Toshiba provide if I buy it from the Toshiba. And what about the Windows 7 installation copy. Is it available in the recovery media. Please provide me details about it.

Hello, you don't need to worry about it. As if you are taking the backup of the recovery media, then you can simply use the new hard drive and install all of the required software, whether they are the application software or whether they are the system software. From the use of that you can simply restore your computer to the point where it was in the new. So, you have to simply take the backup of that recovery media in the CD or DVD and then you can use it for future.
