1)You bought the OS with the laptop, the COA is glued to the bottom of the case.

2)Toshiba will send you the reinstall disk, or you might find them on craigslist for a few bucks.

3)If your machine can run XP or Vista, it can run 7.

4)You would be surprised how many people don't run their disk utillities on a laptop because they are scheduled to do so automatically....BUT THE LAPTOP MUST BE ON AT THE SCHEDULED TIME!!

Chances are you could use a bootable floppy, a USB cable, or an adapter to a desktop, then run chkdsk and then defrag and get your drive to boot again.

5)Ditch the Geek Squad. Didn't you see the big bust a few months ago?(Major theft ring using them to case houses.)Plus, their advice isn't very good.

If I can get the OEM key, that’s pretty much it, right? All I’d need is any kind of copy of the OS after that right?
