Hi,
I have a Toshiba 3110CT laptop with Argosy 24x PCMCIA CD-ROM.
I want to format the harddrive then install Windows ME. But I can't make DOS (i'm using a boot disk) to access the CD-ROM (it does not detect).
Can anybody help?

Download a W98OEM boot floppy image from www.bootdisk.com, this should detect the CDROM

If not you need to install a basic DOS O/S on your hard drive with CD support look at this article the basics are the same:

The CDROM driver you can obtain from www.bootdisk.com.

If it still will not work you need "Card and Socket Software" installed in DOS see:

Another alternative is to use www.laplink.com to transfer files from another PC
