Thank you. I had also come to that conclusion. My problem is how to get to.
Recovery Console since the computer won't boot off a USB optical drive and
when I try to use the 6 floppy disk set for XP it crashes on disk 6 with a
blue screen.
My only option is to take by desktop's Windows CD and make a bootable SD
card out of it. What is holding me back at the moment is that when I try I
get a .gi file and the Toshiba SD Boot Utility needs a .img file. I can't
seem to find anything to convert .gi to .img and my burning software doesn't
seem to make .img files.
If I can get my Windows CD into .img format I should be able to get to
recovery console and then fix the problem.

Since I don't own one, it's hard to say what this toshiba might be able to
do, but my guess would be that the only shot you have at a fix would be in
Recovery Console. There are several utilities available. BootFix, FixMBR, and
BootCfg.

I have a Toshiba M200. It has been an awful computer spending way more time
getting repaired then in use.
The latest problem was that the harddrive died. Toshiba replaced the
harddrive for me but their authorized repair centre returned the computer to
me with no O/S.
I do have a set of recovery disks from Toshiba but the computer has no
internal optical drive and it will only boot from a short list of external
USB optical drives which no local Toshiba repair centre has nor do any of
them even sell these drives should I wish to buy one which I don't
I did manage to get the recovery disks to work. I extracted the
bootimage.img file and put it on a floppy then booted from a USB floppy drive
and that loaded the drivers that set the recovery going.
The only problem is the recovery seems to have gone wrong. All the files are
on C: but if I try to boot I get a no system disk error message.
But I made a boot disk using XXClone and if I boot off the floppy and then
choose XXClone: (Target Volume) [D:0,p:1]/windows as my O/S the system boots
fine off C: and I get the Tablet Windows XP splash screen etc.
If I reboot though I get non-system disk. So basically my computer has a
complete restore and is working fine except I have to always have this USB
floppy drive with me to boot it. Once it gets going it is fine until I turn
it off.
Any ideas on what is wrong with this computer and how to fix it?
