How do I perform a system restore on my Toshiba laptop while my DVD

How do I perform a system restore on my Toshiba laptop while my DVD drive is broken?
I want to perform a system restore on my Toshiba Satellite A205. I have 2 disks to do this with, however, my DVD/CD drive is broken. It can't be fixed unless I replace the whole drive and I'm getting a new laptop but I need to use this one until then. Any suggestions on how to reboot?

Considering a PC is ONLY as smart as its user, don't blame Windows. 95% of peoples computer troubles are caused by themselves. Good luck on finding a linux driver for your cam.

I hear you. I don't think you'll have a problem. usually you can just "turn it on" by going on a video chat site or program. Like, if you go to Facebook Video Chat Rounds (http://www.rounds.com/facebook-video-chat/) It will detect your webcam and ask to "allow access." If you click "allow," it will activate the webcam. That shouldn't be affected by your OS.

Depending on the distro of linux you are using, if you search your software center or repositories and search for cheese webcam booth and install it, it should auto detect the cam for you. I have a toshiba L505 and it worked for me.

Always try "Recovery' first. If you erase the HDD you will have to reinstall Windows & drivers for your system. Depending how new your system is you may have a recovery Partition on your HDD.
