Hello Birdy,

This is a major problem. I don't know how hold is your laptop but it sure looks like a hard disk failure that only a qualified technician can look in to. Sorry about that.

Good luck

Assuming you can't do this from a Toshiba startup screen. (Double check)

If that is hard disk faliure I would dismantle Toshiba.
Connect hard disk to a USB adapter (cheap on ebay). Attach to another PC as usb hard drive.
And run check disk = right click toshiba hard drive. properties. tools. check now.

Forgot to say -
Get a copy of ultimate boot cd : its free - only need a blank cd to burn too.
Alot of utilities there to fix pc. Will boot regardless of hard drive status.
