    (OP)
    I was up all night last night , I couldn't sleep . I had nothing to do so I started going through my storage room . What I found was a recovery for this laptop . I don't remember creating them , it must of happen when this member of my family first bought the laptop , any ways I gave them a try and it worked . It installed back to original factory setting ( VHP ) . I'm doing MS updates as I type . But I also want to finish what we started . Its something new to me and I would love to be able to do it . Though I need another hard drive . What I wanted to tell you in pm is a movie / tv shows website were you can stream free or have a premium account . Premium have a faster and more server option . Its a really good one and its kind of like those member only type . If you want to know it let me pm you the website , if not ? Then thank you for all you done and I hope your not pi$$ed. You can also google the site .

    No worries :biggrin: When you get another HD we will finish .. More then likely there is bloatware in factory recover anyway and if you want to get rid of it a fresh install would be whats needed .. Main thing your up and running :thumbsup: Good on you for staying with it :D .. Pm me anytime

    edit: I see my box was full :doh::D fixed ..

    toshiba fact .. hold 0 and press power to do factory restore since vista. (not for formatted hdd as restore is gone)

    why are u choosing vista over 7?

    u can flash latest bios from ISO not windows for safety purposes.. and likely has slic 2.1 for win 7 activation.. if not we can mod it.

    what is your model laptop under it ? L305D-#### ? or
