Many laptops did not have the capability to hot swap drives; therefore, the
OEMs provided restore CDs which were bootable. Did your laptop come with
such a CD? If so, go into the BIOS and make sure that the CDRom drive is
listed as the first boot device.

I have a toshiba laptop (portege 2010ct) I have fdisk with 98se. When I
restarted it it wouldn't read the driver for cd-rom. So I can't load OS. I
know the driver its looking for is on boot disk. I was able to format and
it
said the diagnosis tools were loaded to drive D. Is there anbody who can
tell
me how to get the system to load the driver. I also don't know my way
around
the system except that drive A: comes up, so I would need step by step
instructions. Thanks for any help you can supply.
