Use a hashtool to check the iso.
If you have 7zip, there is a hash option in that.

Can't you launch the Factory Recover from BIOS?

As stated it normally works if you make the recovery parition as active it should boot straight to recover

QUOTE Did you created the Recovery DVDs? I just found the recovery cds I had made, I was missing the 1st one which is probably why it dn work. And guess what, I also found the recovery cds I had ordered from Toshiba years ago. Unfortunately I found them after I had tried to do a backup and only let it do one dvd and when I tried to reboot I had left that dvd in and it just kept rebooting and when I realized that I took it out and I was able to try to recover and it came up to the infamous red warning screen so I was able to reinstall win 7. I'm guessing that when I left the one back up dvd in it fixed something ??? Anyway it is up and running now, THANKS EVERYONE.My only problem now is I can not bring up any website even though it says I'm connected to the internet. I remember when I installed Linux as a dual boot the internet dn work and it was a problem with the network card (Realtek 8188CE). I don't think the drivers would work with Linux 18. I found a workaround after much searching and experimenting using a driver for a different Realtek card (I also bought a usb dongle wifi and it worked that way also). Maybe that driver is still there and I need to change it back to run win 7? Is the driver on the hd or saved to the mb. If I change it back and then put the SSD back in with Linux 20 will I still have an internet problem? So sorry this is so long, so much of this I did a while back and it is slowly coming back to me.
The original boot loader was replaced by Linux Grub.

I didn't understand if you reinstall (factory recover) or not.
If you did, you should update it with Single file with all updates - Simplix

I was finaly able to restore when the red warning screen came up and when I did a windows update it found about 50 updates (mostly security updates) and I did them all, I was surprised I could still do that. Thank again every one and again I'm sorry for the long confusing update. Mike

now I have to try that. Once I had win 7 up and running I thought I would try my official Toshiba recovery disk but it wn boot to them so I tried my 5 recovery disks I found and disk one seemed to be working but it errored out, might have said boot loader and now when I try to start up the computer it says no boot loaded found, any tips/suggestions. Thanks, Mike

When I hooked the hhd up to another computer via usb it shows very little on it so I think my only option is to get a new copy of Win7 from ebay or somewhere, Thanks everyone, Mike

Where is the best place to get a copy of win 7? I don't know why the recovery set from Toshiba and my own set would not work, both keep saying it couldn't read all the files from the source disk. Thanks, MikeLast edited by wmh1968; 01 Dec 2021 at 17:15.

Hi wmh1968,
I have a Win7x64 ISO that I obtained from Digital River, now defunct distributor for Microsoft. The ei.cfg has been modified to permit access to all the Win7 versions that come on the disk. That is the only change.
If you wish to download it from my OneDrive please let me know!
Several forum members have access to Win7 ISO link from Microsoft, one that shares quite often is Megahertz07
