My boss gave me a Toshiba Portege 3020ct a few weeks ago. It came into life with W98 on it but was rebuilt with ME a while back. In the process of rebuilding it with ME, my boss put in 3 partitions that are not exactly the way I'd like to have it. I'd like to return it to W98 but can't get the CD-ROM to work in DOS after booting with a boot floppy. I've read countless NG postings about loading real-mode drivers before MSCDEX.EXE and have even seen successful conclusions to the same problem but haven't seen any concrete evidence like the lines to put into autoexec.bat and config.sys on the boot floppy.
I'm sure this is not an isolated incident. Although Toshiba provides a small download that allegedly can be used to install the drivers, I can't for the life of me make it work. I'm sure many have had this problem but have been smart enough to figure it out. Can you help me put the right stuff in autoexec.bat and config.sys on my boot floppy to get the CD-ROM to work in DOS so I can FDISK back to a single partition and install W98 in a normal manner?
Thank you very much in advance.
