Hello I have this old Windows XP Toshiba laptop. I tried using the “product recovery” disk to restore the operating system. But I’ve come across some issues. One of the errors I got setting it up was “ERROR: CreateFile 1. PHYSICALDRIVEOThe system cannot find the file specified.” My theory on this is the computer has no hard drive.

So has anyone got any idea on how I can fix this? Continue reading...
