Hi,I am trying to get at least one of 4 laptops up and running that i bought off
ebay . i am trying to replace the toshiba i killed by using a hammer to knock the
heads off frozen screws to the memory cover, lite's on but nobodys home. i bought
2 ibms 2 toshiba's one at a time. one ibm goes online but freezes after 2min the
other will not read any hard drive execpt the one from the dead toshiba, in fact
its the only one all units load up. i have win95oem toshiba and win98 retail to work
with no driver software and no internet download capabilities my main computer'floppy
has'ent worked in years.i have tried to format with both 3rd party (a seagate utility)
and standard fdsk and format off a win98 startup disk.the result is the same on both
the ibm w/internet access and the better toshiba( 700mgz).I get the message you already
have win98 loaded on you computer exit recommeded. on the toshiba i pushed anyway,
figuring i know i formated.but all i got was a messed up win98 load up(screen flickers
on any program line and won't hold any open programs.i have a utlity to do a totall
wipe, but without any drivers i'm afraid i'll destroy any resident drives particular
to that unit .c dir shows volume full on the small hard .7g and all programs on
the other even after formatting.
any help would be apriciated and thanks for looking at my mess. steve w
