Crazy Laptop
Here's the thing,
My sister's laptop crashed a month ago, so i tried to run using LiveCD and other boot up linux-based discs to retrieve the data, but none of those worked. Then I removed the hard drive, connected it to my sisters desktop and transferred all her files. After that, I formatted and installed windows 7 on her laptop and the laptop was then working beautifully...for 1 day. The next day the laptop crashed again, and I once again tried to reinstall Windows 7, and about 40% of the way through, it gives me an error (with no number or name) saying installation failed. Restart try again and I got same result.
I googled and looked around online and it boiled down to two issues, RAM or HD problems. What do you think the problem is? If it's HD, where can i get decent price 2.5 HD that I can return if the problem is not the HD?
If it matters, the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite.
