use your restore disk and everything should be fine

 

Assuming the hardware is ok rdmercer is correct it's time for a reformat,if you don't have a windows disk use the system recovery function,if you don't know how to access it,get the manual out or go to toshiba's website,if poss save any data or you maybe able to put the laptops hdd in an external case & check for viruses etc & errors & fix it that way,again only if the laptop hardware is ok

 

If i use my system restore disk will it delete everything on my drive for example my files and folders.
