Only way to know for sure is to download and burn a LiveCD from the Ubuntu site. Put the disc in and restart your toshiba. The live CD will boot up in ubuntu and run the OS from the CD player without changing the hard drive. That way, you will get to see how the system runs using the hardware.

How do you get information back when OS is currupt?
You can use a boot CD to access the files on your hard drive, if it has not crashed. For example, a Linux LiveCD such as Ubuntu, or a windows boot CD such as BartPE (Google them to find them). If your hard drive has crashed, and the LiveCD method doesn't work, you can send it in for repair to one of many data recovery specialists. It can cost from a few hundred to thousands of dollars to recover data this way, so I hope you have a backup.

Boot from the LiveCD and then run gparted or qtparted. Caution: BE VERY CAREFUL YOU COULD, BY ACCIDENT, DELETE ALL YOUR DATA

If you are currently dual-booting...Note: When a computer is dual-booted, the user selects an operating system at start-up.Rather than being loaded into one automatically.You have to format the partition that you installed Ubuntu on, you can use free software to help you do this. When the partition has been formatted, extend the free space to your main partition (most commonly the "C:" drive).If you use Ubuntu stand-alone...You will have to re-format the drive you installed Ubuntu on.If you have a factory recovery disk, you may use this to re-install Windows, or any other operating system.NOTE: Re-formatting will erase all files and settings, so you should back-up all important documents before starting this process.
