Huge Laptop Crash - No FS2004!!! - Rescue Laptop Or Buy A New One?

Hi,

Just had a major laptop crash - FS2004 used to be on it :(

Taoshiba Lappy W7 caught in an infinite loop.

I;ve treied all the recovery options (safe mode/auto repair ... everything) but nothing works - even safe mode goes back into the loop.

The DVD drive is recognised in the BIO, but I cant boot into the drive as it isnt recognised on restart - just the HDD and LAN in the menu - no CD/DVD Drive. CCant even get to recover from the preinstalled recovery software on drive D.

So thats it - an endless loop and no access to anything.

Is it a dump in the bin and buy a new one?

I appreciate you help and support.

Thanks

Not for the faint of heart. Never did this myself. But looks like an option:

I'll look into it again. BTW, laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

In the meantime, any other tips?

Good news! System recovered.

Thanks for posting the link. The standard Windows recovery options all failed, but the Advanced option had a Toshiba recovery selection that enabled me to restore the computer - at least I dont need a new laptop.

Thanks for your help
