Reformating toshiba Hard Drive

Sandira, on Thursday 15 May 2008 à 12:12:29

Hello,

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS laptop with no floppy drive and no spot to put one and I need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall an OS. It has a CD drive, but the bios only has options for booting from hard drive or floppy. The current OS (NT 4.0) has become corrupt and won't boot up. Please Help!

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

Hello

Your computer originally came with a removable floppy drive. The same bay can hold a CDrom, which you evidently have. The CDrom does not appear to support CDR media, which is not surprising. Below are the formats supported.

CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-ROM XA, CD-Bridge (Photo-CD, Video-CD),
CD-I, CD-I Ready, CD-G, Multisession (Photo-CD, CD-Plus)

You have some sort of external floppy dive port. Look to see where it is. you may be able to jury rig something.
