What I'd do first... When that fails, plan B:

I have an older Toshiba laptop, and would expect recovery CD/DVD to
recover --> you may need to write a block of zeroes to start of HDD
to convince your recovery DVD that you have a brand new HDD, it
overwrites the rest anyway, or rather, mine did --> Win98 on 40GB...
