ICit2lol The strangest thing occurred with me . I got to show you a picture. So I put the Windows Vista Recovery Disk, see for yourself. By the way how do I get into safemode?, This Laptop a Toshiba Satellite . Does that mean the client lost all his stuff or what. Maybe that's why Windows Vista couldn't start, there is no driver.

Look raiden it sounds like a temp problem with the no go as it sounds very much like it has now cooled and the CPU or what can function.

Check with Speccy and let me know. If the temps are CPU in excess of say 55C and the motherboard say 60C then you can check the cooling system very quickly by shining a very bright light into the exhaust vent aperture and then look into the fan aperture. You should see quite a bit of light shining through if not the little cooling "radiator" is probably chock full of crud.

Most likely is the cause seeing it is a Vista machine anyway let me know the model number / version and as important the PART NO as in my pic. Underside of the machine.

I have a good Toshiba reference site I use for fixes where I can forestall getting info if need be.

Now the pic is a little blurry so I can take it as a L350D? if so see pic and see what I mean by the light etc

You mentioned earlier to there was not HDD shown. Now in that DISKPART pic I see you have "list volume" where you should have had "list disk" That screen is just showing you what is on the drive as in volumes.

The problem is can this machine be booted at all? If so go back to diskpart and get list disk up not the list volume.
