I have a P205-s6257 toshiba laptop that Im trying to load window 7 on with NO luck after I formated the hard drive. It actually gets worse, what happen to the good old days of formatting the drive then adding in the new OS, creating a partition and away you go
Anyway, this Toshiba laptop had Vista on it originally and I do have the recovery disks that came with the laptop but I cant seem to get the formatted hard drive to boot up either with the new windows 7 dvd nor the original vista recovery disks. ugh.
The error message im getting now is missing operating system. I tried click "F8" and "0" but it still say "missing operating ".
I have another laptop and a sata usb enclosure. is there anyway to format the drive via usb and add the toshiba recovery files needed to get my laptop to boot up again?
Any help would be approciated
