after that i boots win xp cd and i work until it is stop at the page "the computer have virus or something" it is same as last time when i tried to access to the laptop after using abandon software to wipe the "C drive"
i worry that abandon still inside my laptop and it keep wiping every new hdd that i install after

If your laptop wireless works with Vista then it will work with Win7. Give us your Toshiba model number and we will find the driver for you to load after Win7 reinstall.

Put the Win7 DVD in the drive, shut down and restart the computer, start tapping the F12 key to get a BIOS Boot Menu, select DVD drive to boot, Press Any key when prompted to boot DVD.

Follow these illustrated steps to clean install Win7: Clean Install Windows 7

If you receive any failures or error messages, post back the exact wording of the error message.

If the DVD does not detect a HD, reinstall the old HD to try this process. DO NOT attempt to boot into HD, you only want to boot into the DVD.

Will your HD show in diskpart?

DISKPART : At PC Startup

type list disk than press enter.

There are several models for that Toshiba. Find yours here and select from the dropdown menu Win7 drivers and LAN to get the download for your driver. Put it on a stick or CD and install immediately after WIn7 install to get online to get the rest of your drivers via optional Windows Updates. Toshiba Support - Homepage
