install xp mce no cdrom toshiba g25 no restore disks help

by pbilly12 . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

i need hel[p bad
i have a g25 toshiba laptop
no recovery disks no usb ports working accept pcmcia adapter with usb ports
cd rom doesn’t work disk keeps springing out
i have done everything in the above guide
with a copy of win xp mce i found on the net
boots into hard drive with dos and i start windows setup works
reboots and starts setup
and then get blue screen
i’m thinking that it may need the raid drivers for this laptop
i hit s and it says load drivers in drive a it does not take me a place where i can guide it to a place i may load drivers on the hard drive
so how do i load the raid drivers if thats the problem

do i need to buy the restore disks from toshiba and use them instead of the copy of win xp mce i found on the net,

or
what do you think the problem is?

it worked fine till i got a virus
and i could only boot into safe mode
now i cahave reformatted the disk
and i have no operating system on the didks at all

please help
thanks
billy

i have installed dos 7.1 on the number one hard drive formatted into fat 32 and put the xp mce disk on the drive
booted up into dos on the drive went to wnnt exe on the i386 folder , and stareted setup
works and then reboots upon reboot i end up with a blue screen i’m thinking that in needs the raid driver to go further but how do get it to them
i
the only option i have is to go to floppy frive a which i don’t have
it won’t let me direct the installation anywhere else
how do i download the raid drivers and how do i put them somewhere that the install can find them or use them
thanks
billy
or is the problem something else
?
