I think I will have to check some of the local computer shops to see if they have a replacement or can order one somewhere. I don't have another laptop to install from, and I wish I could just temporarily hook up a standard floppy drive but it has a different connector. The bios is already upgraded to the most recent available from toshiba. For now I guess I'm SOL. Thanks anyway. Derek Fountain wrote:
Hmmm, tricky one. You could take the HDD out and put it in another laptop to do the installation. You could try opening the case and seeing if a regular floppy, or another manufacturer's laptop drive will work. You could get an LS120 drive which behaves like a floppy but attaches to the IDE bus (you might need a new BIOS to make it boot from that though). You could contact a refubished notebook supplier and ask if they have a suitable drive from a broken machine you could buy.
Or someone else might have a better idea. :-}
