Toshiba Tablet PC - Portege Blue Screen of Death

Hi,

My Portege decided not to boot today and take an advanced Thanksgiving vacations. Windows is trying to boot but a BSOD comes briefly and the system restarts itself. No hardware changes have been done and no software has been installed, besides possible Windows Updates, NIS updates, etc. I guess the Restart on System Failure is selected and I can not get to see the BSOD helpful description.

I do not have the Toshiba CDs with me right now but I do have other Windows XP CD's (obviously not Tablet Edition)
Anyway to turn that option off to see the BSOD?

Happy Thanksgiving

Tiom_qui ,

Thanks for those great utilities. Sadly, the disc is damage. I was able to use some of the utilities and all reports problems in the first sectors/cylinders.
