You could remove the hard disk and use a converter to connect it to another machine so you can retrieve your personal files.

When that's done, open an elevated Command Prompt and run Checkdisk to see if the system can fix any errors on the disk that might be hindering Windows from running.

At the Command prompt, use the syntax
chkdsk x: /r
substitung the x for the letter your PC gave the relevant drive. Pop it back into the Toshiba and see if it made a difference.

thank you so much for your help. i have been on so many forums and most helped at first black screen but now i can actually boot from a cd except it goes through all the motions but when it says starting setup the little logo just circles for hours literally and nothing else happens im writing to you on my other laptop but it doesnt have a cd drive so i cant make a recovery image at this point im not worried about what i lost i just want my windows 7 back i tried a clean instal but then an error came up saying missing media drive

I believe you can still download bootable ISO Windows 7 from Microsoft's site and burn it to a flash drive - memory stick, if you prefer.

Is the Product Key readable on the label underneath? Some times they've worn out to the point when you can hardly see it.
