Booting from a PC Card External Floppy
The mobile computer normally boots from the internal hard disk;
however, it might be necessary to boot from an alternate boot device if
the computers hard disk becomes corrupted or fails, or if you want to
boot another operating system. One option is to use a bootable external
floppy disk drive.
To boot from an external floppy disk drive
1 You will need a Win9x boot floppy. If you are running Windows, Exit
Windows (from the Start Menu select Shut Down, and then choose
Shut down the computer).
2 Separate the PC Card connector from the cable by gently squeezing
the two small clips on each side of the connector.
3 Insert the PC Card (disconnected from the cable) into the socket.
4 Restart the computer by pressing
FN+ON.
5 Follow the instructions on the screen to reconnect the cable to the
PC Card, insert a diskette, and boot the computer.
Note When booting from an external floppy you cannot see Drive D
since it is NTFS.
