Windows 7 Restore/Install Error
I have a Toshiba Satellite A-215, all original hardware, that I was trying to do a restore on yesterday before I gave it to my friend. Well it was nearing the end of the installation progress, but had seemed to have stalled, when the computer got unplugged. That was very bad because the battery in it is shot and it will only run on AC power.
So it shut off during the install. I start it back up and I get this error:
"The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered and unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and the restart installation."
I press okay and it restarts and gives the same error. I repeated this cycle a dozen times with no variance in the outcome. I tried putting in a BIOS disk and the original Vista disk that came with it. Nothing is making a difference. What should I do?
