Reload windows Xp, will not start

[allan1957]

I have the toshiba pro laptop model SPM 30, it was running slow, so I thought I would put it back to factory settings with the disc that came with the laptop when I had this new, I loaded the disc called product recovery DVD-rom, after it as now loaded, I get this blue screen flashing up very fast, I cannot read what it says on it because it is to fast, the operating system is XP, can you help

[allan1957]

The error message says - the system is not fully installed, please run set up again, I have done this 6 times, but it just goes to this error message or this blue screen flashes up with errors, I cannot read this due to to the speed it flashes up.

Now goes to the desktop, then flashes to h blue screen, switches off, switch itself back on, Keeps on doing this and going in circles

I would run a program such as seatools on the hard drive to make sure the hard drive is healthy. I had a laptop act up like this a few months back where it was acting slow, and decided to install winows xp pro clean. Upon installing clean it would boot to part of the startup and blue screen and reboot. I ran seatools bootable CD on this laptop and found out that the drive had multiple bad sectors and S.M.A.R.T was reporting failures. Swapped the troubled 20GB hard drive with another 60GB hard drive that I had and the system was then fixed after installing the OS to it, and was no longer acting at a snails pace but nice and fast like when new.

*In order to use seatools your hard drive has to be a seagate or maxtor brand... if another brand you will need to locate the manufacturers diagnostic tool download or you can burn a copy of Linux Fedora 17 to DVD or make a bootable thumb drive, which has a pretty good hard drive utility which can diagnose problems with any drive that can be addressed.

When the system first start tap on the F8 Function key to get to the Advanced Boot Options Screen. Once there, select "Disable Restart on System Failure" and reboot. You should see the blue screen error now. Please post the entire contents of the error message.

I have just switched off my wireless switch on he front of the laptop, no error message or blue screen up to now, can any one help on this one, I am confused

[allan1957]

Still running perfect now I have switched off the wireless switch, any idea from any one on this one, no more blue screen, switched off & on, running great but cannot use the wireless

[patio]

Re-install the WLAN driver from the Toshiba site...or if you have the Driver CD that shipped with the laptop use that...
You will then have to set up the network in Control Panel...
