Using a Windows 7 repair disc on a PC was created by another PC.
I have 2 laptops. One, a Sony Vaio has a working Windows 7 home premium OA 64 bit. And another Toshiba Satellite that HAD Windows 7 home premium OA 64 bit. The hard drive in the Toshiba went fubar and is unrecoverable. None of the sectors are readable except the partition table and SMART says that drive failure is imminent.
I installed a new blank hard drive in the toshiba.
Can I use my Vaio Win7 to get this Toshiba Win7 working somehow? I created a repair disc on my Vaio but I don't know what to do next for the Toshiba. No the Toshiba does not have any backup recovery disks made from it but I can make whatever discs with my Sony Vaio.
How do I fix this? I have not done system recovery on windows since the old NT days. It looks like MS made this harder than it was. All I had to do was use my install disc.
