SOURCE: I can not get my computer up.

Partition creation is referring to the hard drive.
Does the laptop make any different noises, clicking sounds...

Do to my experience with laptops over the years. Hard drives are the 1st to go.

I would say that your hard has gone bad and the recovery CD cannot install to it. You can get a replacement Hard drive from a local computer store for around 50 bucks. Of course it depends on the size you need.

G'luck

Can I use a Toshiba recovery disk for A210 series if I have an A505 series? They are both Windows Vista

That is about the only thing thew same about them other than the name Toshiba. The A505 is an Intel Processor, the A210 has an AMD processor. They have completely different video graphics chipsets, audio, and LAN configurations, Assuming that the A210 disc will load in the A505, you would not get proper video, audio or LAN drivers. Recovery disks are made for the machine they are bundled with. You can try, but don't be surprised if your result is less than optimal.

It keeps saying that ntoskrn1.exe is missing

It is pretty much crashed....hard. Might want to reload the OS. Yes you can recover from that, but it is not worth the time and frustration to do it...Provided you can afford to lose whatever you had on the primary partition (C:\) drive. Let me know if you need other asst. It is a little complicated to explain. How many machines is this affecting? All of your E-Machines?
