Toshiba hard drive utility

[Saviour]

Hello, everyone!

I have an HP Pavilion ze4210, (about 5 years old) running Windows XP Home and unable to boot.  When powered on, it gets to the Windows XP boot screen and then restarts...everytime.  It won't boot into Safe Mode or Last Known Good Configuration.

I have no Recovery CDs and really don't feel like paying HP $87 for them.

It has a 20GB Toshiba hard drive with no floppy drive.

I've been racking my brain trying to find a free Toshiba Hard Drive Utility CD image in order to do some diagnostics.

Any recommendations?


Thanks in advance!

You could get a new copy for that!

Have you tried the Ultimate Boot CD?

It you got 5 years service out of any HP consider yourself lucky.

Thanks for the info...

Looks like a great tool...will use it in the future.

Took care of this issue with a new Windows XP cd.


Thanks, again!
