I just received my future shop order and unpacked my new Toshiba Satellite and there are no instructions in the box for setup.  I've set up two other Toshibas since August of this year, so I thought I could handle it anyway, but the computer goes directly to a recovery wizard screen on powering up.  I started working through it, but was afraid to continue in case I wiped out eveything that is supposed to be on the hard drive.  Can anyone help?

The Toshiba recovery is the first thing that comes on when first turning on a new Toshiba computer. You'll be given the option of which language to install, whether Windows is 32 or 64-bit, and if you want to keep the options you didn't choose in case you want to change those options in the future. Once you've made those options, the laptop will prepare Windows with the options you provided. There's nothing to mess up here -- the recovery software will run everything automatically from there.

Once you're into Windows, you'll find the computer's User's Guide as a link on the desktop.
