the drive is years old and i've had it since before 2010-2013. took out and swapped with 2 toshiba hdd's with no luck, want to see if i can make it work without buying a new part.

if u care about ur data at all, its probably a better idea to replace the hdd

#

cos data recovery is even more expensive

#

but that said u could probably fix the corrupt windows with an windows installation usb

Quite a few toshibas have proprietary drivers which renders an install usb pointless

#

And finding the drivers in my experience is more of a pain

Unless he has the cd supplied with the system then he's gonna have some tough luck unless he has a linux usb for a live environment or the toshiba cd it comes with

#

But yeah the toshiba site for drivers is shocking

#

@peak snow do you have the tosbiba cd?

like a disk? no

Shame

#

Get a windows 7 installation usb

#

It might be able to repair windows
