Question

I have a problem with my toshiba laptop that i bought a few days ago..its a satellite U305-S5087. I was not supplied with a recovery cd, it came with a recovery partition though from which you can create recovery disks from. Now my problem is whenever I try to create the recovery disks I get an error "No HDD recovery area" The Toshiba disk creator cannot be launched!! Can some one help me out on this as I want to resize my hard drive and create a partition for ubuntu linux.
