Re: Toshiba 3110CT won't boot


An interesting idea Tim, I may well give that a go -- did you have to
hold down a key at boot time to get the live CD to boot?

The weird thing is that the Laptop will boot to DOS quite happily.
Using a Win98 disk I have run scandisk and it found no errors -- which
seems to imply the hard disk is okay -- maybe. I have run tsetup and the
'end' key seems to do nothing (it is marked as reloading defaults on the
screen). Is there any way to force the BIOS back to factory settings?
