On every Toshiba machine I have used, you hold down Esc while booting, then press F1 when prompted. I haven't used an L-series, but it's certainly the same on a new Portege. > >What I am trying to achieve is to boot from a diskette in a Toshiba PCMCIA >floppy diskette drive.

You should be able to set this option from Windows using the Toshiba Utilities (on this L70 - it might be a different program on later machines). That is, unless what you said about not having a password means either you can't install it, or you can't even log on to Windows to find out.
