Cleaning up my desk, I found my old Toshiba Satellite laptop. Haven't used it in years. I used to use it to make music with LMMS, just a part-time hobby thing. I believe it ran Windows 8 or 8.1 when I last used it. Plugged it in and pushed the power button, and got the wonderful blue screen. Wouldn't let me repair, refresh, or reset, I kept getting error messages. Something somewhere was corrupted, and I don't have a boot disk. Only option I was able to find that actually worked was deleting the hard drives. It's nothing but a paper weight at this point, so what could go wrong?
Needless to say ... it's still a paperweight. I'll be the first to say I'm not the most technologically inclined individual, but I feel that I can hold my own to a point. I'd love to get this thing working, but I'm not sure where to start. Probably with a bootable USB. Something to at least get this thing off the ground and maybe run some diagnostics. Any suggestions? Again, this is a free thing that I found, and would love to keep it as close to free as possible lol
