Re: Hard drive install with recovery media cd.

That's normally an indication that the hard drive is defective.  To test the hard drivego to Hitachi and download the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test CD ISO image as Toshiba doesn't supply their own.  Create the CD using the Burn From Image option (see http://iso.snoekonline.com/iso.htm for more information on doing this), then boot to it and run the most exhaustive tests available.

Re: Hard drive install with recovery media cd.

Ok  tried with test cd and still nothing . The Toshiba screen comes up and is readable. But media disk starts out on black screen and saying what its preparing to do and some of the words are not spelled correctly. Had a spare hard drive and tried it same exact thing happened. OK could it be video card?
