I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop without a floppy disk and it has a CD/DVD Rom drive.
The hard drive has been wiped clean. It does not have Windows XP on it.
When I try to run the recovery DVD that came with it, I get write errors associated with the hard drive. I am assuming the hard drive has issues. After numerous attempts, the recovery DVD will not complete its ghost installation.
I want to run a program to check and correct any problems with the hard drive and then format it. Which program should I use, and how do I boot into the program without a floppy and without being able to get into Windows XP?
Thanks! Fred
