Hey guys so I need to factory reset my Toshiba Satellite L750 laptop, however pressing the "0" button when booting up doesn't work. I've also tried looking for a system image backup but I couldnt find any. Then I was told that my type of laptop has the backup saved as "HDD Recovery", which I need to burn on a CD/USB which I tried but it either didn't work or I haven't done it properly. If you could advise me I'd be happy.

P.S. Im broke so I would like to skip the wiping and installing windows again option.
