Re: [Sheflug] Booting from CD on Toshiba laptop

["Graham Cox" <nospam [at] shef.ac.uk>]

Attempting to cd to d: in DOS gives bad drive specification (tried a
bunch of other letters too - no joy).
Is the CD dead, or is there something funny I'm missing here?

If it's just bare DOS then you won't be able to access the CD-ROM Drive. You
need to get drivers for the drive to do that.
The best thing to do, believe it or not, is to use a Windows 98 startup
disk. It's got a generic cd-rom driver on it, and *should* work in the
majority of cases. Then, hopefully, you can make the disk images and get
yourself going...

Good luck - looks like you may need it :)
