in response to your question the program runs perfect but none of the
tests will run


I'm sorry but you are still not making yourself clear. If you are saying
that:

1. You downloaded some hard drive diagnostic utility like SeaTools;

2. Made a bootable CD from that file by correctly burning as an image (and
not as data) with third-party burning software;

3. Successfully booted with the diagnostic CD;

4. And the diagnostic CD tests won't run....

then your hard drive has died, which is where we started this thread.

It sounds like your hard drive is about toast then. I would recommend
that you backup anything that you do not want to lose that you are still
able to. You should be able to order a replacement copy of your OEM
Vista installation DVD for your model of computer from Toshiba to use to
install on a new hard drive though.

Hello Casey,

This link below at Toshiba will show you how to create a set of Vista
Recovery Discs if you are still able to (if not to corrupted) from the
OEM recovery partition. If you are able to, these will reinstall Vista
and your Applicationtion & Drivers on the new drive.

'How to use the Toshiba HDD Recovery Utility'
(http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7C02140000R01.htm)

Hope this helps,
Shawn

that a HDD failure is imminent

it has just had a complete fail with a small .exe program pop up to say
that back-up is top priority. something like that

If your IP is correct, you're posting from Australia and will have to
find a "trusted site" that will ship there.

Surely someone you know can help you find one, or to find a reputable
local dealer.

I'm not sure about who ships to Australia or not, but you should be able
to order a replacement through Toshiba.

i got the vista recovery iso from the internet and when i get to the
recovery screen it says "install.wim" is missing. i looked on the cd and
no "install.wim", even on the iso itself it isn't there. any ideas?

i've tried:
DVD-burner:
- (no updates for it
- (burned at 1x,4x,5x,MAX
- (used Alcohol120%, Imgburn, Isoburner v2
- (used on both medians DVD-R, CD-R

If it's from an official source, then you should contact them to see
what they say about the ISO file. It may be a bad ISO, or they have some
sort of special usage instructions for it that were missing.
