I have a Toshiba satellite L750D 6 months old, with a now defected windows 7 64 bit SP1 OS, a week ago MS sent 60 auto updates, after the upload it went into auto restart and never recovered, I went through the system but could not get it to recover the only open systen was command prompt, my PC seller tells me it doesn't come under the warranty because it will be a software problem, Toshiba point the finger at the seller, telling me they purchased the warranty, MS failed to answer my problems, so I purchased a MS recovery disc which failed to recover, telling me no operating system could be found, yet I can clearly see the file via command prompt.
Now I feel my only option is to purchase a new OS disk of Windows 7 or give up and join the growing dissatisfied MS users. So my question is.......
With my new computer in it's present state only Command prompt can I upload Ubuntu without having to shell out on the windows disk. However my worry is my files with all my own data and my draft web site I was upgrading for the last month, will i be able to access these or will they be lost.
