Not well up on Laptops
My Grandaughters Satellite A200-1TO.
This morning this laptop kept switching off.
I tried the usual recovery methods but was unable to get windows to load, not even in safe mode.
I popped in the recovery disk to see if I could repair windows, after mucking around I decided to do a full recovery.
Followed all the instructions, chose to format the whole drive, all seemed to go well until I got to 57% then install failed.
I went through this procedure 5 times, but windows still failed to complete, always got to 57% then was aborted.
The laptop is still under warranty, so will have to phone Tosh, me thinks it could be the HD/Drive or the DVD player.
Any ideas before I phone.
