Hi,

I have a Toshiba Satellite 2410 laptop and a BIG boot problem now.

THE PROBLEM

My Toshiba laptop came with a recovery CD-ROM that re-creates an image of the original partition and deletes everything on it, obviously no the solution I want now. Instead I have the c:/I386 folder with the whole set of Windows XP Home install files.

THE CAUSE
Most probably that I've put my laptop to hybernate while I was pulling off my PCMCIA wireless card from the slot. Unfreezing it has been impossible as explained.

SOLUTIONS?
I tryed changing BIOS parameters to disable PCI ports or any conflict but nothing happened. Maybe installing a a superior Windows (as Professional) will do, but I doubt it as I had no luck with Linux installation.

Please, I appreciate any comment, help or even support and hope ;-)

THANX in advance,
hip

hi,

Do you manage to boot into the recovery CD ?

If so what filesystem is it formatted as ? ( NTFS or FAT)

The recovery cd won't boot in my case. I received a message saying "Installation failed/aborted"

any idea?
