Do you setup the new HD first.

i bought a new hdd, i take off the old hdd from the laptop and plug the new hdd in,
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

Hello felycitylau, welcome to Seven Forums!



I would suggest using the Partition Wizard Boot Disk (PWBD) to wipe the Hard Disk Drive instead of the other software; then boot the XP CD to do the installation after the wipe completes and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

Have a look at Option Three of this tutorial at the link below for an outline of the process.

Partition Wizard : Use the Bootable CD


First download the PWBD ISO file to the desktop, be sure to get the PWBD and not the installed version; scroll down to see the download link for the bootable CD ISO file at this link below.

Partition Wizard Free Bootable CD

Then use ImgBurn to burn the ISO to a CD, at no greater than 4x speed with a verify; it was designed for use and works best from a CD rather that a DVD then boot the created CD to make the changes.

thank you,
but the problem now is i can not access to my toshiba laptop to do anything.
the second time i boot win xp cd, it appeared that "this laptop is recovery with the version u10 u04 u49 ........."

is my laptop OS damage not my hard drive damged?
what can i do which the new hdd
should i install in another laptop and create a new window and install back in toshiba laptop?

If your laptop wireless works with Vista then it will work with Windows 7. Give us your Toshiba model number and we will find the driver for you to load after Windows 7 reinstall.

Put the Windows 7 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 Windows 7: 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.

my laptop model
toshiba satellite L500D system unit
part no pslk0a-00w009

There are several models for that Toshiba. Find yours here and select from the dropdown menu Windows 7 drivers and LAN to get the download for your driver. Put it on a stick or CD and install immediately after Windows 7 install to get online to get the rest of your drivers via optional Windows Updates. Toshiba Support - Homepage
