You don't have an EFI Bios so no need to worry with that step.
Diskpart Clean gets the hard drive clean to avoid problems.
I'm still curious where during install there were the OEM and logo choices you described. Please provide pictures as something is very wrong.
Where did you get the installer? Use the one for your version in tutorial.
I downloaded it from that website you gave , I downloaded home premium and unlocked all versions , I am trying homebasic as my previous was homebasic too,
There are 2 strange things, 1 I was not promoted for the key and window was fully activate with an product id which had the word OEM in it and 2nd that option to select an oem.
I do not know if toshiba is using some hidden mechanism for this or what , right now formating is in process and is on 53%
No such thing. If you wipe the HD then there's nothing left and no way for Toshiba to insert anything into a clean Win7 ISO youve supposedly downloaded from MS servers.
But why if you own Home Premium are you also using Home Basic? You don't own that version. I thought you said you were given a new key to replace the COA key for Home Premium. Install your licensed version and activate with that key. If you have another failure we need a picture of it and the exact step at which it happens. I will not ask again.
I had homebasic installed and I was given the key for it and it was not a new key, it was the same key which was unreadable because the characters which are visible are the same, I downloaded home premium and unlocked all versions because homebasic was not listed there
btw I had decided to send it to the repair shop now, I am pretty sure this window attempt wont work either
Probably best because OEM would not be in Product ID string after COA key is used and asking for OEM logo after a Clean Reinstall is only known to be done by activation exploits.
You can always order your Toshiba Recov disks which link I gave you at the beginning in the old thread
Why won't you describe or show us the problem then?
A reinstall would only auto-activate using a branded Toshiba reinstallation DVD or Recov disks. Never on a clean reinstall using ISO media unless it has an activation crack added.

If resetting BIOS caused prompt to boot from network then we could have resolved that easily in BIOS set up Boot Order priority.
How were drivers installed? The steps are very clear how to handle drivers in a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. You need your wireless driver in your Back Up to get online then get all other drivers and important patches to make them work from Windows Update.
Did you follow those steps? If so why did you not come here to resolve each issue as it came up instead of wasting time and frustration reinstalling? We can resolve any issue like that.
Actually I came here and posted a thread too ,
Toshiba 660 Satellite Drivers
I installed the lan card and wifi driver from official toshiba website
Windows update also got installed , so it promoted me to restart the pc to aplly updates , I restarted and it booted from lan card, The boot order was fine , I tried from f12 as well but after selecting hdd it still gave me the same pci error.
