Hi,
P855 -34P Toshiba laptop failed water damaged (so i was told by Toshiba) I bought a refurbed motherboard. P855-34P and also had the recovery discs from Tosh to get the thing going. Recovery discs do write to the hard drive cos i checked the hard drive in my other laptop, and the windows recovery is where it should be. My problem is its asking for the boot record and to press any key etc.
The Bios does recognise the hard drive and it is set to boot from it. All the other solutions dont seem to work, i have trolled the internet many times and nothing seems to fit with this problem. BTW i have Hirens boot CD and the Toshiba disc check says the disc is a failure!! But i have a new disc from Toshiba, and it also said this disc is a failure.
So the operating system is on the HDD the Bios recognises the HDD but it will not boot from it??
Any new ideas would be very gratefully recieved
