Hi
I've just inherited a Toshiba satellite c660 laptop but it's come with a problem. I was told that he thought that he'd fried the hard drive , after checking I found there wasn't one in it so I bought a new hard drive thinking I could just load windows xp onto it - no problem - ha.
It started to load off the disc then it stopped and a blue screen came up - tried a couple of more times including a usb stick all with no joy but I did catch what came up.
'Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware problem. Could not read from selected boot disc , check boot path and disc hardware.
Please check the windows documentation about hardware disc configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information.'
I've got no idea about what to start looking for / at , or even where to start , can someone please help?
It's supposed to be an upgrade from my old laptop which is a Toshiba satellite sp4600 and as I only use it for diagnostic work on cars I thought I was onto a good thing.
Thanks , Adam
