CDs, of course. The Toshiba CDs offer "wipe the hard drive and start over
completely fresh" as the ONLY "repair" choice using those CDs. So I have
been using the 6 floppy disk boot start up every time and it's a real drag.

It's happened when I've made no new installs or not changed drivers...I'm
behind a firewall and running Norton yadda yadda yadda.)

You can install the recovery console as a bootup option. It's been a long
time since I've done it, so I don't recall the exact steps, but I believe
the directions are in Help & Support.
