I thought it was already on a partition, but I keep getting this:

I press down 0, hold the start key, release it, it starts loading files, then restarts instead of the screen like I expected it, and instead asked for a boot disc, along with stating 'check the cable' or something.

I have a 64 bit Windows7 on a Toshiba L650 pre-installed, no disc given.

Ah yes, the old keyboard buffer overflow...

Instead, try to access the F8 menu and see if a Repair option appears at the top. It looks like this:

And after that loads, apparently there is a Toshiba HDD Recovery option to choose.
