Satellite Pro M30 Recovery

Hi all

How good are these recovery DVD things?
I have a user with some serious virus issues and a short time to turn around
a fix as he is a traveller.
I am tempted to just run the recovery DVD rather than spend ages trying to
identify a virus which has got past the a/v and spyware check.

Will the DVD return the lappy to exactly as it was supplied?
I notice that another Tools and Utilities CD was supplied as well as the
recovery DVD.
Does this mean that the tools etc will need loading separately?

I'm asking you guys as the lappy was bought from box shifter store rather
than a source with good technical support.
The Tosh site doesn't have much on the recovery in the knowledge base.

TIA

Phil

Sorted!
Recovery DVD worked fine - appears to have returned lappy to "as-supplied"
condition.
