Toshiba recovery CD problem "Extraction failed"

Archived from groups: comp.sys.laptops (More info?)

Hi Anne,

It sounds like you have an 'image' disk rather than an 'OS' disk. If this is the case, you will have to have the disk replaced.
Most manufacturers will do a replacement for a nominal fee.

If your disk is an OS disk, does it tell you what file can't be extracted?

Ciao . . . C.Joseph
