Can't get Portege R100 to recover using original disks
Posted: 31-Aug-2011 09:56

I've just brought my 2005 Portege R100 out of retirement to give to one of the children - However it didn't want to start. I've changed the boot order to CD-ROM>LAN>HDD>PC Card and have put the original recovery disks in the genuine (and compatible) Toshiba DVD drive.

The system boots from the DVD drive and then gives me the following messages:

No CD/DVD-ROM drives found

It then reads the source files from the A: drive and tries to mount the PCMCIA drive

It then tells me it can't find the device driver 'TOSCD001'
No valid CDROM device drivers selected
Bad command or file name
Could not copy from CD-Drive to RAM-Drive C:!

Any advice will be gratefully received as said child is eagerly awaiting his laptop!

Thanks

Alan

Hi.

I assume you need a companion disk as described here

You have to boot from such diskette in order to load the driver for CD/DVD drive.
