Okay.. This problem started out about a week ago and sorry if I blab on a little to much about this one simple problem but I would like to describe it in much detail as I can so I get it right the first time.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L655 S5153. I run Windows 7, 64bit. I caught some kind of virus, it was driving me crazy. So I did a restore on it and once I did the restore, about 10 minutes into the new restore the virus came back. So while attempting to get into the recovery mode so I can just redo everything back to factory settings. I reformatted and sense then I been having all kinds of problems. After I reformatted I finally was able to get a hold of a Windows 7 disk but it was 32 Bit. Wasn't aware that a 32 couldn't run very well on a 64 especially with having to upgrade drivers and everything else possible.
I finally have the same Windows 7 Home Premium on it now which was on it before. Everything seems to be running great except I had to manually go and download drivers for the video card, sound card, network adapters and such.. Even though it is running good, I would still like to recover it back to the factory windows that came with it. I'm unable to get into the recovery partition. I have tried the F8 recovery deal, the hold the 0 deal, I have tried everything. This computer what so ever will not read the recovery partition. I know it's in there because while I was installing windows which was from a disk it showed me 3 partitions, one was the HDD Recovery, the primary, and there was another one which I have no idea what it is. But I can't get in there. What do I do? I'm thinking it's just corrupted and I'm sure there's a way of fixing it. IF anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it
