I want to reformat my HDD to reinstall winxp pro but after copy the data. Bue screen with this message : setup did not find any hardisk drives installed on compouter. But the problem OS load if I just let it start normally.
You need to go into BIOS by pressing an F key during boot. Look on the screen for correct Function key. Check if BIOS still recognizes a hard drive. If not, you need to physically reconnect drive and try again.

It is best practice with a used computer to completely format and
clean-install Windows. In your case, this is what you definitely need to
do after performing some hardware diagnostics. Here are links that will
show you how to do a clean install and what you will need on hand:

The First Thing To do Is To turn off the power, and remove the battery.
Then Remove the Hard-Drive, Should Be In A Drive-Bay Underneath.

if you download the sata drivers from the toshiba website for your specific laptop and then extract them and get nlite ( www.nliteos.com and slipstream the drivers into the xp disc you can then re install xp and it should allow you to boot.
As for the hard drive frozen password that should be in the bios on the hard drive that you set it for so it should remember it
if not you may have to contact toshiba and they should have a back door password that they can produce once you give them the asset tag ( serial number of the laptop ) and once you enter that it should resolve the hard drive frozen issue.
Had a hard drive frozen at a school once and had to call dell ( as it was a dell laptop obviously ) and gave them the serial number and they created a back door password for me - jobs a good one :D
