I have windows 95 installed on my Toshiba laptop satellite T2110. Some files have now become corrupt and the system does not boot. When I tried reinstalling Windows 95 with the floppy set I have Ifound out the floppies have also become corrupt. To the best of ny knowledge my laptop does not have a CD Rom port. Can anyone help me out?

Aye go to EBAY and buy another set. Alternatively put the laptop hard drive in a PC with an adaptor and copy over the install files of whatever O/S you have to hand. BTW Linux is FREE.

How many disks are in your set?

Hello plainandsimple's advise is about the best these days, i.e. go to EBAY and buy another set. Or go to some of your local computer fairs & see if you can buy a set. I picked up two sets of W95A disks (12 disks per set) from an obsolete Compaq distribution (it had other Compaq disks in it too - you don't need them unless you have a Compaq system) Although they are upgrade sets - they work fine. You need a 'Qualifying Product' to use them - MSDOS v5 or higher, Win3x (any version). Boot Disks are available all over the Web, but the best are at http://www.bootdisk.com/ I just use a standard Win98SE boot disk for installing any version of W95 or W98. The W98SE boot disk is so darn good. You do NOT need to install MSDOS or Win3x. Actually, you only need the 'disk 1' from Win3x or MSDOS so that the OS loader can read it when it asks for it. These older OS can be bought on Ebay or at computer fairs. An excellent site for version info is http://www.mdgx.com/ It is also known as Axcel216's free site. Scroll down the left hand menu to '9x-ME specs' link. The site has heaps & heaps of info & patches & advice (it puts to shame Micro$oft's site at times). The pages are long, but load very quick. There are heaps of pages - take your time to search & look. I spend lots of time there learning about all the basics. Don't forget to apply the Service Pack. Micro$oft still has it & heaps of other updates & extras still availble. You may also need to update other files. Try these links - (highlight them, then 'cut & paste' them to your browser is easiest wat to go http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/ http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/default.asp http://www.computerhope.com/win95.htm http://mama.indstate.edu/pfaffle/software/win95.html http://www.xenafan.com/win95/survivalkit.shtml http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;142794 http://www.oldfiles.org.uk/powerload/index.htm The only problem with W95A is that there is NO USB support, and there is nothing you can do about it, as there is NO code written into the OS kernel. (W95B & W95C have the code.) Fear not for the future, weep not for the past. - Percy Bysshe Shelley

To, Plainandsimple You had suggested me to put the laptop hard drive in a PC with an adaptor and copy over the install files of whatever O/S I have. How do i go about doing it. Iam not much conversant with hardware.

Go to ebay and in the 'computers and networking' category do a search for: adapter laptop hard drive Several will show there (as well as other stuff that the search picks up).

If that's the route you want to go, post back when you get the adapter and we'll tell you how to copy the files.
