Now you have my computer potentially working.
I used F12 to set it to start from the DVD.
Put in the recovery DVD's.
Seems to be reading them so far.

But what do i do about the battery I removed? Just put it back in? Is it dud?

So is it still installing Win 7?
Yes, you can put the battery back in.
What do you mean DVD's and reading them?

It should be installing whatever was there before. probably not with SP1

thanks

PS replacement battery available from a non Toshiba brand

Rick33, AGAIN, please use the QUOTE button when responding!

If it is re-installing fom the DVD you made then it HAS SP1 because the ISO included SP1! The install you are performing is a clean install and will therefore delete everything previously there and replace it with a clean fresh install of Win 7 SP1!

You probably DON'T need a replacement battery. You can test out the battery when you have finished installing Win 7 by removing the power lead!

I had made recovery disks in 2017. That is what I used.

So we have all wasted our time on this then trying to get you a fresh clean Win 7 SP1 install!

Now I probably need to download all the updates from 2010!

Who knows!

Does not look like I even have SP1 although strangely I found this...

Who knows!
