Toshiba Satellite Z930 laptop: how do I recover it to use again?

[Guest Christopher_W]

Hi,

 

 

I own an old Toshiba Satellite Z930 laptop, Part #: PT23A-01ECON; a few years ago the online re-installation of WIN8 failed about 75% of the way through and the laptop was abandoned. Now I'd like to resurrect this to use for a few simple tasks, like word processing and internet access, but all I can get to is the BIOS. I don't have the WIN8 key and the operating system came pre-loaded with the laptop.

 

 

When I switch on the laptop, I get a blue screen with the following information:

 

Recovery Your PC/Device need to be repaired

 

The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

 

 

File:\BCD Error code: 0x0000034

 

 

You'll need to use recovery tools. If you don't have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your PC administrator or PC/Device manufacturer.

 

 

How can I restore the laptop and load, perhaps, WIN10?
