I think the last time I did this, the final tally of Windows updates was something over 200 - and that was just for Windows.

There will be one for Recovery if you have a recovery partition.

I would suggest that you take the hard drive out and slave it to another computer - you may need to use some sort of caddy but they are widely available - to try and save what you can of your own data.

This may mean that your data is already gone, but see if you can still save any of it.

Also please note that, recovery may probably remove all the data on the disk.

Toshiba Recovery Disk Install The OS

On some models there is an option to re-install the OS without removing data but you have to start the recovery manager to check whether that option is available in your model.

The recovery sector is still on the HDD from previous instalation but I cant access it on startup - this would be my preference.

Be sure to save your work to external media before executing the recovery.

Release the 0 (zero) key when the recovery warning screen appears.

On machines with the F key numbers on the bottom edge of the keys and in Gray: Power up the laptop.

When the initial TOSHIBA screen displays, press the F12 key to enter the boot menu.

Use the arrow keys to select the HDD Recovery option and press the enter key to begin.

If the recovery process offers a choice of Operating Systems, select the appropriate one for you.

The default and recommended method is to Recover to Out of Box state.

Enter diskmgmt.msc in the RUN dialogue to open the disk management window.

Now i can only suggest contacting Toshiba support and ordering a recovery DVD set.

Usually recovery partitions will b labeled as Recovery or something similar with size around 10 to 20 GB.

Did you used any partitioning tool to modify the original partitioning structure.

I would say at this point you have nothing to lose by trying this.

The only thing, if it does work, you will have all the updates to do since Adam was a lad.
