My earlier suggestion about using the linux fatdog was:

- acknowledge that fatdog sees your hdd icons in the lower left of the
desktop called sda1 and sda2
- R click such as sda1 and from the context menu select 'Check integrity'

This is what I see. There are no sda1 and sda2 on the left of the Fatdog
desktop to click on.
Where is sda1 and sda2 to click on?

It looks to me like there is an sda1 icon on the desktop above the
taskbar in IM004776.

The taskbar looks like menu, 1, 2, launchers for web browser, terminal,
file manager, fatdog control panel, show desktop and the icon I think is
sda1 is above the taskbar above the part which has 2 and the web browser
launcher.

Then, finding that there is an operational/sound hdd there, use the Tosh
instructions to access the Tosh recovery wizard to replace the Windows
installation with the factory install from the Tosh recovery partition by
connecting to power source, and turning the computer on while holding down
the keyboard 0 (zero) key.

There are no Tosh' instructions when turning the Tosh on holding down the 0
key. Just a loud irritating sound. Nothing else.

Uh oh.

- computer turned off
- turn on computer while holding the 0 (zero) key
- Tosh Recovery Wizard warning screen
- may have option to choose between 32 & 64 bit Win7

There is no recovery wizard when this is done.

This message shows the link to the Tosh instructions

Thanks, but that doesn't work. All I got was a black screen with a dash in
the upper right and loud irritating sound.

That sounds much worse for the hdd than just missing the appearance of
the sda2 icon on the desktop.
