Hi Franklin,

I looked at that <g>. Its not really possible to connect the disk the wrong way
round as the connector is too high inside the case to mate with the disk
connector if inserted the wrong way round. I had the same feature after
rebooting with only the floppy drive present under the old bios. When I
reinstated BIOS 6.4 the drive and light started to work normally again.. 'tis
very odd, me thinks...
>> try again - hopefully I'll have a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter this afternoon....

Thanks. I'll have a search for that and see what comes out.
>Have you looked at www.bootdisk.com for further possibilities?
emm - no. Didn't know about that page. Shall go and investigate asap.
I'll also follow up the other links.

hmm - not sure which routine you mean, but if you are writing this at 03:40
local time any mind would slip <g>. I couldn't find anything on toshiba's page,
but I'll have another look.
>Dead disk?
It seems to work fine in newer notebooks..
Thanks for your help
