Answer 1

Hmmm... I'd start by filtering out any files that you don't need and uninstall programs you don't use anymore. I had the same problem with mine a while back and my friend fixed it up telling me that I had a bunch of junk built up on it. As for the recovery files, I'm pretty sure you need to use the CD's.

Answer 2

no you can't use an hp disk in a TOSHIBA

To access the Toshiba recovery partition, power off the laptop. Hold down the 0 (zero) key and turn the laptop on. Keep holding down the zero key until the TOSHIBA logo appears, where you should start tapping the zero key repeatedly. Stop if the unit beeps or when the TOSHIBA logo disappears. The screen should flash ** HDD RECOVERY MODE ** for a split second, then load the Toshiba recovery program right from the hard drive

Answer 3

The HP recovery disk will not work in your Toshiba laptop because it was burned using HP recovery software. Don't waste your time trying it because it will not work.



Toshiba doesn't come with a recovery folder unlike Acer where it has eRecovery to simply restore the system without any disk. Since Toshiba doesn't have the capability, you should have a backup disk or burned an image of your system in its factory settings before doing anything. I own a Toshiba laptop, and before I did anything, I used Windows Vista's recovery software to burn a backup disk of the system. I never used though because my computer is in good shape.



You should have a technician perform the reinstallation of Windows.
