Not without handing your computer over to professional recovery people
and spending a fortune (literally).

You will have to see if you can get recovery media from Toshiba. Mine
came with such.

Possibly with third party tools, if you havent used your laptop since this
happened

If you have recovery CD's from Toshiba then you really haven't lost
anything. If you don't have the CD's call Toshiba and have them send you a
set.
