 So I obtained the official 8.1 ISO and installed it to flash using the Windows 7 USB/DVD creator. It is named Win7 but works for 8 (fuck these guys). I tried to run it from a live Win8 session but it failed.

In Win 8, you must hold down shift when powering down, or go somewhere in the control panel to set it to advanced boot mode or something. All bullshit. Anyways, after you figure that out, if you haven't blown away the recovery partition on the HDD you should be able to use the Toshiba recovery tools, or if not, you can use the USB flash drive.

In Win 8, you must hold down shift when powering down, or go somewhere in the control panel to set it to advanced boot mode or something. Then when booting, hit the F12 key.\footnote{Reference:https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.4winkey.com/computer-help/how-to-access-enter-bios-on-toshiba-laptop.html}  All bullshit. I am seriously considering personally boycotting Toshiba for how this was.  Anyways, after you figure that out, if you haven't blown away the recovery partition on the HDD you should be able to use the Toshiba recovery tools, or if not, you can use the USB flash drive.
 \footnote{I should mention here, that one other thing I tried was the built in Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. This was told to me to be in the search menu (ctrl - c for charms menu, then search, then toshiba recovery) but it was not. Instead I found it in program files. I tried running it, and it failed to format with some cryptic error. This may have just been because this particular windows installation was corrupted somehow, but another thing that failed... Why does anyone use this OS I don't understand.}
 After the trouble of setting up the USB flash drive, I ended up finding that the Toshiba recovery tools were still there, so I opted for that.
