Typical repair disc or install disc will not delete data UNLESS you direct or mistakenly do so. A repair disc will provide 3 options, repair, restore or recovery of image or restore point or access recovery partition(or ask for it). A typical install disc if NOT a MS retail one, as in an OEM(Dell, Gateway, etc.) under its own rules differ slightly, thus it all depends. It's not going to hurt to see what your Toshiba provided install disc offers, a menu list should be displayed. In most cases they usually are the same just labeled from Toshiba. If you have a repair disc from some other source of the same OS type, that will work, know a friend to generate one for you? Now, you wish you made one when your PC was 1st gotten.

Toshiba Laptop will not boot. it asks to repair by inserting the windows installation disc.
error: 0xc000000f
I have the windows installation discs/recovery but have not retrieved all the data yet. Will inserting the disc automatically delete all the data on the drive or will it simply attempt to repair the issue and keep the data on the drive? I am hoping to just get it operational to recover the data with least cost/time expense possible.
