We've just taken delivery of a Toshiba Portege R200 as a way of evaluating 
Toshiba laptops esp. the small form factor. We've bought Dell Latitude X1 in 
the past but these don't (bizarrely) come with PCMCIA slots so we can't use 
Vodafone 3G/GPRS cards.

Anyway, that's not the point. As seems to be the case with modern 
manufacturers, the laptop is loaded up with all sorts of crap (sorry useful 
utilities) which we definitely don't want!! So we want to re-install plain 
vanilla Windows XP Pro and take it from there - we have our own build 
configuration.

Apart from the laptop not coming with a CD/DVD drive (one up for Dell for 
similar price), it's only come with a "Recovery CD". What does this recovery 
CD contain? Is it a Windows XP Pro install CD or an image of the laptop with 
all the useful stuff already installed. If the later, how does one go about 
getting a CD-ROM for re-installation? I assume it's a OEM Windows XP Pro 
license on there.

Thanks, Rob.
