Can you use a dell recovery consoule Cd (windows xp cd for dell) with a toshiba laptop? When I used it, it said no harddisks found.

ok I'm am now changing my answer............ If windows CD can't find the HD.........I'm going to say........................your Hard Drive has crashed.... and you need to either send it in.. or get a new Hard drive from DELL..... i suggest sending it in cause a lot of times if you don't have the exact HD needed you won't be able to install the windows that came with the laptop....... call DELL SUPPORT... and they will help you

Well, there are a couple of possibilities.
1) You have a floppy disk in the A: drive (who has a floppy drive these days?)
OR
2) You have your laptop set to boot from the CD. In which case, you may have a CD in the drive with no operating system on it.
ONE OTHER POSSIBILITY:
Your hard drive his toast. Take it to a repair shop.

Let me explain a bit--
This problem is probably caused by codec issues. A codec is a piece of software that encodes and decodes (usually just decodes, on consumer computers) video and audio streams so they take up less space (without encoding, a simple movie would be around 20GB)
Most media players require that you have codecs installed separately from the media player--but one player, VLC, can play virtually any file (Including DVDs) without bothering with codecs. Try it, you'll like it...

when it starts to boot up press f10 this should hopefully let you restore you computer. you will loose all of your info more than likely but it should bring your os back.

REINSTALL WINDOWS. THAT SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. IF NOT THE DRIVE MAYBE DEAD.
