Hi,

With what you did to it I'd say you have damaged the hardware.

You can try this, but if it does not work check the Hardware starting with the Hard Drive.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

You can use the power button to restart your computer three times. This will start the Windows Recovery Environment.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

See if this assists you, if the Toshiba Recovery partition is still intact:

To access the System Restore, Refresh and Reset options using the F12 option at start up, perform the following:

1. If not already, ensure the computer is completely shut down.
2. Now restart the computer by pressing the power button - IMMEDIATELY start tapping the F12 key on the keyboard until the "Boot Menu" screen appears.
3. Using the arrow keys, select <HDD Recovery> and press "Enter".
4. On the next screen you are asked to confirm if you want to continue with recovery. Select "Yes".
5. The computer will bring you to the Advanced start up screen.
6. Select Troubleshoot. Under Troubleshoot you will see “Refresh” and “Reset”.
7. Select “Advanced options.” Located here is "System Restore."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Test the Hard Drive.

Go to your Computer Manufacturer's website > look for your Computer's specifications > find out brand of Hard Drive > go to Hard Drive Manufacturer's website > find and download Hard Drive Diagnostic software and make a Bootable disk from it on the Computer you are using to get here, following their instructions > test your Hard Drive to see if it has failed.

And you can also use this Method to test your Hard Drive:
