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”).
2Separate 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.
