Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Sounds to me like the hard drive went bad on you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) It may also be an intermittent (cable/connection) problem and/or a bad sector somewhere - fixable with CHKDSK or other utility.JFYI, about 0x000000ED:http://www.boot-land.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=11320&st=7(AND given links)jaclaz Edited May 12, 2010 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I would suggest that the problem is likely with your hard disk drive too. Most manufacturers offer free drive check/testing utilities, however Toshiba doesn't. Their drives can usually be checked using the free tool provided for Hitachi drives. Since you've stated that the OS has been re-installed etc. I'd also strongly suggest that you ensure that all of the proper drivers etc. are installed and working correctly before touching additional software installations.
