RE: Another laptop question

[badpolarbear]

Im sorry to say that the solution Brad gave me didnt work and the Toshiba Satellite 220 CDS isnt back up yet. But the good news is my IQ test I took the other day said I was good with words so I figured I would push my luck and use them words to kiss Toshiba's butt. One of the out of the way reps went out of his way to assist me on the phone for about 30 minutes and decided the best course of action was for him to zip me a complete system recovery along with all required Dos prompts. Since this man was so kind I would like to offer this recovery system to anyone who may need it or if any one would like to see how it was performed dont hesitate to ask. Daniel

Toshiba was not quite sure what the problem was but when I dictated the solution Brad gave me they said that should have worked. What Toshiba did was send me a file2fd boot.img.for floppy. I installed it on the lap and watched about 50,00 errors go by. But once it was done it came up with a C:> prompt. After that it was trial and error but what I found was as in most reformats there is a point where you use E:. With this Toshiba fix you exchanged E: for D: did the MD WIN98,COPY*.* C:\Win98 then back to D: and do SETUP. Basically it was echange E: for D: I would like to Thank ALL who helped out, particulary Brad. This is a good site.
