You may have a BIOS supervisor password set which is preventing most of the changes from within the BIOS. If this is the case you would need to enter the password.

On Toshiba laptops it is normally F12 on startup to access the boot menu

Some BIOS' are locked down more than others, it varies from one model computer to another. You can't really install Windows on another, not identical computer, then pop it into another system (drivers, HAL, etc. get in the way), either.

Put it down to experience and buy another laptop from a reputable source.

If you cannot get the supervisor password, you could use the eBay returns process to send the laptop back at the sellers cost
