Apparently it only has drivers for specific models. It was designed to use an external DVD<br>attached via a PC. I don't have 'the' external DVD drive nor do I have the recovery disk.<br>The drivers are available on the Toshiba site. I have the url and all is good there.<br>
It is a cute little machine though :D and still in good shape.<br><br><a href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/toshiba3500_xp_tablet.htm">http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/toshiba3500_xp_tablet.htm</a><br>
<br>"The box and sticker on the wrist rest area of
the 3505 state that an external DVD drive is included (reads CDs,
CDRs and DVDs). Well guess what boys and girls: you won't find
one in the box! Instead you'll get a coupon that you can mail in
to get a Targus Noteworthy DVD drive that connects to the Toshiba
via a PCMCIA card. This isn't good news if you don't have an external
CD drive handy-- without one, there's no way to install software,
read the manuals (supplied as .pdf files on the CD) or to use the
included recovery disks. If you need to boot from the recovery
disks to set your 3505 back to the factory install state, you must
use the drive from Toshiba, the machine will not boot from any
other CD drive (though you can use other CD drives for non-boot
tasks). The coupon is good until Jan. 15, 2003, and I hope at some
point before then, the DVD drive will ship in the box."<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 29, 2009 at 10:06 AM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:zixiekat@gmail.com">zixiekat@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
