Hello everyone,
I found a website from Toshiba on how to use DISKPART to copy my 3 Toshiba Recovery Medea Discs to a 8GB Flash Drive.
So I used a old windows 7 laptop to do this and it worked from what It looked like. I ended up trying to do a clean install on the laptop I used, but the recovery disc I used is giving me problems for now where I can't use it. The problem I had was the flash drive I copied the discs to was lost before I was able to install it on the Toshiba Satellite L655-S5096 which the Recovery Media Discs belong to I had bought from Toshiba 4 years ago. My DVD drive do sent recognize any disc I put in, and this is why I was glad to of found on how to copy the recovery discs to the flash drive so I can reinstall the OS on it.
So, now that I don't have a running windows 7 computer. I am using my cousins to make another flash drive with backup, but she has windows 8.1 64bit ASUS R503U laptop, and after I started to follow the steps to copy the recovery discs to new flash drive. I got to where I put in the sub and the 1st recovery media disc, and went to open a command prompt to get to DISKPART, and then I can't go thru the next steps. I believe it meant that showed up on the screen is something to do with changing something in the BIOS.
I can't figure out whatneeds changed, so could someone please let me know the steps on what I may have to change any BIOS Setting to make it work. I just don't understand how I got the first flash drive to be a bootable windows 7 Home Premium, but now I can't get it to work using the windows 8.1 laptop.
Thank you for any help and advice I can get help with this.
Thank you,Robert
