Two seperate issues. You can order new disks on ebay for example but if your product key is unreadable you need to purchase a new key.

hope you get joy happy crimbo

Had that problem a few times myself.
Only way I could fix was to restore back to factory condition.
As you boot, watch bottom of screen closely.
depending on system, Should need to press F2, F10, possibly F12, might even be Del.
Most likely you didn't get restore disk, or have made one.
If you do, insert disk before boot up. System should boot to DvD.
Don't forget once restored to update.
Hope this helps

Depends on whether your system came preinstalled or with a os installation disk. If preinstalled you'll have to do a full system recovery from the start up menu. When starting up hit f11 and that will take you to the recovery screen. If disk is available put it in the cd/dvd drive and restart the system. follow the onscreen instructions from there.

run scan disk from bios, sounds like you have alot of disk errors

Is it a recovery (from a recovery partition) you did or you installed from DVD or CD?

If from latter--cd or dvd...then reinstall or have the cd burned at a lower speed.

You need to repair your windows.
For that you have to boot computer with recovery disk or windows disk.
When you power up the computer press F1 or F2 or "del" key to enter in bios.
Then go to bootm menu then set first boot device as cd/dvd rom.Then save and exit.
Then put disk then follow the procedure.
Then choose recovery cosole and type in prompt "chkdsk /r"
then press "y"
then it fix eror on harddisk.
Then check.
If still same blue error then again boot computer with disk then follow the procedure then choose repair option for repair previous windows.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks.

The newer Toshiba laptops don't come with a recover disk, you are expected to make your own DVD or CD's after you first power up and verify the operating system is good. If you didn't make the backup, you will have to call Toshiba and have them send you a system disk.

Compaq? Oh, then you are going to have a hard disk partition with the recovery files, so you don't need the disks. You have made it, that's great, because in case you cannot access the hard disk, you cannot initiate a recovery without ordering recovery CDs for your model from HP.

There are a number of ways to do it.

Try pressing F9 at startup (when the Compaq or HP logo shows up), and if it doesn't work, see the key for System Recovery at the bottom of the screen. It will recover, just follow the instructions on the screen.

Also, you can insert the first disk anytime, or boot from it when you start the PC up.

Or, you can use the Recovery Manager software in the PC that is pre-installed and it will help you to do a System Recovery from the files on your recovery partition.

Please rate this answer, I badly need it.
