In general the Toshiba Tecra R850 is a good laptop. Light for it's size (15.6"), with anti-glare screen, the only negative so far is the smooth keys on keyboard have a slippery feel.
Various forums that state you can hold the "0" key down while turning on the laptop to boot to recovery mode - in fact, this does not work for this model. To enter recovery mode you must press the F8 key to enter the Windows boot menu, the top item is "Repair Your Computer". This will boot to Windows 7 recovery mode, where the Toshiba Recovery Wizard can be accessed. The procedure is outlined in the Toshiba manual for Tecra R850.
*If you cannot access the Windows boot menu, you can also mark the recovery partition (the last partition on disk) as Active - it will boot to the Windows 7 recovery mode.
*The recovery partition is required to generate the recovery DVD's.
In the recovered state the Toshiba has the following layout:
Partition 1 = ~1.5GB System partition (hidden,active)
Partition 2 = C:\ drive system partition
Partition 3 = Recovery image partition (hidden)
