HOW TO MAKE A BOOT DISK FOR TOSHIBA SATELLITE UPDATE
I'm going to try putting the bios update on the HD and holding F12, I know it's supposed to be on a floppy but maybe it will check the hard drive also. However I don't understand why my other laptop will read the drive regardless but the toshiba won't read *any* drive I fdisk/format on the other laptop. The only other soln i see is to buy a USB-FDD to boot up, update firmware and fdisk and format drive correctly. I have read that I should be able to edit the drive geometry that is upsetting NT to make it match but only editor I can find runs on win 32 and I can't even get win98se to install and boot. Use another HD as boot drive with toshiba, (i have an extender cable to attach two drives to laptop, making problem drive slave of course, try to fdisk and format from second drive, but no luck as bios doesn't recognise two drives attached to controller. Just get similar Disk I/O error if i format it on other machine after being fdisked on portege. Have managed to get a ramdisk to run off the laptop HD, copy tools to it, run fdisk /mbr, then run fdisk fine, I had the intention of running format from the ramdisk but after fdisk finishes it needs a reboot before it can format, so ramdisk solution doesn't work.
I believe it is NT comparing the drive geometry bios/drive and not liking it, aparently 98SE doesn't do this check. Started setup, all went fine till first reboot leaving me with flashing prompt in corner. Put back in laptop and boot to c:\> prompt - no problem so far So it came with an existing XP install that I couldn't log into, placed drive in another machine it was single 6GB NTFS Partition. Seller couldn't reinstall OS (cd's stolen from car !?!?!).
HOW TO MAKE A BOOT DISK FOR TOSHIBA SATELLITE NO CD
I have an identical problem, I bought a Toshiba Portege 3440CT on ebay with no cd or floppy, was supposed to come preinstalled with XP, Was intending to network in and install 2K. Peter G RE: Toshiba Hard Disk Boot Problem JohnCitron (TechnicalUser) 22 Jul 03 17:24 Reinstall HDD back into the laptop and boot to command mode (F8 during startup) and run the setup from the harddrive. You will have to use an adapter and plug the hard drive into a PC, format the drive and copy on the Windows CD. If the CD-ROM is PMCIA-based this wont work. Sometimes using F8 repeatedly (to prompt a boot menu) will also trigger a boot-order menu. It should show you on the screen - try hitting ESC or TAB to clear the logo and look for a message relating to this. You should be able to boot from the CD - there is often a key to hit during the start-up phase which gives you the option of specifying a temporary boot order. Laptops tend to have proprietory software installs, and they come with recovery CD's that are tailored to specific models, so I am not surprised that they wont work this way (the Compaqs also have a hidden recovery partition in many models).

HOW TO MAKE A BOOT DISK FOR TOSHIBA SATELLITE DRIVERS
I have searched the Toshiba website, although well informative and many drivers i have not seen anything there to help me.ĭo I need to prepare the Toshiba HDD with a utility?
HOW TO MAKE A BOOT DISK FOR TOSHIBA SATELLITE UPGRADE
Maybe the Toshiba BIOS upgrade will help but this upgrade requires the system to boot from a floppy drive. Just to clarify a few points, the Toshiba BIOS is very primitive, 1) HDD Mode options are Standard/Enhanced 2) Boot Priority HDD->FDD/FDD->HDD (NO CD Boot option). Interestingly the Compaq HDD also won't work on the Toshiba with an OS Missing type of message. When I put the drive in the Compaq it works fine, take it to the Toshiba, it won't work. The system won't boot, I get the customary 'Disk I/O Error, Replace disk. All went well until I took the drive back to the Toshiba. The system had so much junk on it i decided to fdsik, format and make HDD bootable on a Compaq laptop and I could install everything from CD from there on. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 420CDT laptop with an IBM 3.2Gb HDD and CDROM, but no floppy drive.
