Toshiba Satellite C675D-S7101

So this laptop came to me with an issue, not starting up. It would take me to the black screen saying that a startup file was missing. After trying and trying to use the Windows repair disc nothing seemed to help, it would fail. So I tired a fresh install of Win7 and it failed about 3 times, without changing anything I tried it for the 4th time and it installed. It fired up fine with no drivers. Upon the first start up after idle at desktop for a few seconds it come up with "Windows explorer is not responding, etc.etc." After hitting close the program it flashed and went back to desktop and immediately it starting loading. After a few seconds it was acting fine, could move the mouse around no issues. So I started to browse through the C: drive and it was loading everything extremely slow, so then I decided to look in windows.old to see if the old data was present, it was not. So I decided I'd try to install the drivers, I had the wireless LAN driver and touchpad driver first so I could actually use the laptop. Neither of these would respond after the driver files had been extracted. When I would go to C:\user\XXXXX\appdata\local\temp to where it was extracted I tried to manually start the installs, nothing happened after the loading animation finished on the cursor.

I have a done many fresh installs and rarely had any issues. Are these signs of CPU or HDD damage? Any information would be appreciated.

*Note I had a lot of these same issues when I tried to do the same thing on a different Toshiba Satellite model with similar specs.

Probably a Bad HDD. It can't be anything with the CPU, because if it would be the CPU, it wouldn't even Start up. You need to get a 2,5" HDD that fits into your laptop. You can get one of these with 1 TB for around 60 bucks

I'd like to get some more opinions, can anyone else chime in. If it's the HDD I'd be happy, there are some good HDD's for sale on Newegg right now.

Bump. Windows explorer crashes constantly. Is it a HDD issue?
