Boot CD does not work with Satellite 5105-S501. What should I do?

I have big problems with my 5105-S501

The computer is totally screwed upward, with a little help from some virus evil. Well well, anyway; I thought it would be a good time to format the HD and reinstall the operating system.

He liked the manual says, put the cd in recovery and applications started. When I choose install, I get the message "bad work". Even thought it was the cd that I got with the computer!

Tried to format the hard drive manually in the comand prompt, did not work. The hard drive has been used and the computer could not force it out of use.

Put a XP pro cd in the drive and tried to install that one. I have to choose to delete the current partition to format the HD, then I got the message "system unable to perform the operation requested on the selected partition. This partition contains files of temporary facility that is required to perform the instalation.

Tried Fdisk, did not work. Same problem as above; the hard drive is in use, so forth and so!

So guys, I really need help. What happened, and what can I do?

Hi Peter,.

I found something that may be interesting for you:

When you run the recovery cd you get the error message 'bad machine '.

The CD of Builder/Restore Configuration looks for a specific string of the DMI
who identifies the model of the computer you are using and compare it
information on the CD. If these two do not match error
'machine wrongly' occurs. Your authorized Service provider can Toshiba
Difficulty an incorrect bios corrupted or empty using a special diagnosis
tool to rewrite the DMI string.

If you are certain that you have the correct Configuration generator.
CD recovery for your computer, then go to your most loved
Toshiba authorised service provider.

Maybe he can help you.
