No It Doesnt
geeky_jose06,
Try booting the system into the Window's recovery console and run the commands chkdsk /r and chkdsk /f to see if your HDD is damanaged. Write down any messages. Next, if everything with the HDD looks ok,take out a memory stick and try the install with just one. Fail? Try the other.

How can i boot the system into the Window's recovery console
geeky_jose06,
You need to use the Toshiba recovery disk, but since I am not familiar with the actual steps of that particular manufacturer, I cannot guide you any further. You'll need to look for the option of "Recovery". It's usually an option in the Setup Screen of the Windows Installation, by pressing "R".

The recovery CD for your Toshiba computer is damage or files are corruted. You cannot access the recovery console of microsoft windows using this cd to run check disk. I suggest you call Toshiba at 18004577777 and acquire a recovery disc from them
