Reconfiguration Guide
Your Toshiba computer comes with software pre-installed on the hard drive. In the event you need to completely reinstall your software, use the following information as a guideline to reconfigure your computer to its original setup or to re-install a particular software program. Due to the complexity of the T6600, and it's bundled software, reinstalling a particular software package may or may not be enough to return you to a working state.
IMPORTANT:To reconfigure your computer, you must have transferred the original pre-installed software from your hard drive to blank diskettes through the Master Diskette Creator (MDC) procedure introduced on your computer screen the first time you turned on your computer, or through the Master Disk Creator in Windows. If you did not create these diskettes, please contact: Toshiba Product Support: (800) 999-4273
DISCLAIMER: This re-installation procedure verifies bundled software configurations but cannot recreate certain minor changes made during factory installation. Also this will not recreate the master diskette creator (MDC) program or images.
The instructions in this manual use lowercase for things you type using the keyboard, and uppercase for command names and the text you see on the screen. When you enter a command, you may use upper- or lowercase.

What is the first drive letter you would like
Adaptec EZ-SCSI to reserve for your CD-ROM?
9Highlight D and press Enter to reserve d: for the CD-ROM drive.
After copying the driver, EZ-SCSI Setup displays a message similar to the following:

DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPICD.SYS /D:ASPICD0T6600CD/CDV
Changes to be made to the AUTOEXEC.BAT:
C:\SCSI\MSCDEX.EXE /D:ASPICD0 /M:12T6600CD/CDV
The actual text you see may vary from the example, depending on the SCSI 2 device(s) you connected.

DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI2DOS.SYS /D /Z /U-
4If you have a T6600C with a SCSI device, a T6600CD or a T6600CDV skip to step 5.
If you have a T6600C without a CD-ROM, you can save 30 to 60 seconds at boot time by disabling the SCSI host adapter (ASPI2DOS) BIOS.
To disable the host adapter BIOS, add REM and a space before the ASPI2DOS line in your CONFIG.SYS file. The disabled driver line should look like this:
REM DEVICE=C:\SCSI\ASPI2DOS.SYS /D /Z /U-
NOTE:In the future, if you attach SCSI 2 devices, run EZ-SCSI again to enable the SCSI host adapter.
5Press Alt + F to open the File Menu. Type x to Exit and type y to save your changes to CONFIG.SYS.

Activating CD Audio
This section applies to T6600 series computers with a CD-ROM drive.
To listen to CDs on your computer, follow these steps to activate the CD Audio driver in Windows:
1Run the Windows program by typing win at the C:\ prompt.
2In Program Manager select Main from the Window menu.
3Choose the Control Panel icon and then choose the Drivers icon.

Your CD-ROM drive is recognized and the installation is complete.
6Press Enter and press Alt + F4 twice to return to the Main window.
Adding the Windows SYSEDIT Editor
Windows includes a utility for viewing and editing your CONFIG.SYS, AUTOEXEC.BAT, WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI files in Windows. Follow these steps to add SYSEDIT to your desktop.
1In Program Manager, select the Main Window.
2Select New from the File menu and press Enter.
3In the New Program Object dialog box verify that Program Item is chosen and press Enter.
4In the Description edit box type a title for the icon or leave the box blank for Windows to use the default name, Sysedit.
5Press Tab once. On the Command Line type
c:\windows\system\sysedit
Leave the Working Directory edit box blank.
6Press Enter or choose OK.
Windows places a new icon in your Main window called System Editor. When you choose this icon, you can read and edit your various configuration files.
Changing the Wallpaper
This section applies to computers with the MediaShare DVI board installed.
When running some programs under Windows you may see a phenomenon called Palette Shifting. It is caused when a background program has its color palette replaced by a foreground program with a different color palette. This can be annoying when using a 256 color Wallpaper. When a program's color palette is replaced it will usually take on unusual color patterns.
To limit this phenomenon, we recommend replacing the current Wallpaper (MediaShare Mountain Screen) with a 16-color Wallpaper or with no Wallpaper.
1From the Main window in Program Manager, choose Control Panel and then choose Desktop.
2Click the arrow in the Wallpaper Box and optional wallpaper choices are displayed.
3Scroll through the choices and highlight (none) or one of the other wallpapers (bitmaps). Once again we do not recommend 256-COLOR.BMP or MEDSHRE.BMP.
4Select OK and you will see the new Wallpaper background displayed.
Exit and restart Windows for the new Windows configuration to take effect.
Editing CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT Files
NOTE:The CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files contain statements that load device drivers and run programs that configure your computer's resources.
In this section you will be editing and configuring both the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files for your particular T6600 model. These changes will return the computer to near the factory configuration. If you are already familiar with the Windows System Editor installed in the previous section you can use it instead of the MS-DOS Editor.
Changing the CONFIG.SYS File
This section explains how to modify the CONFIG.SYS file.
1Find the correct CONFIG.SYS example at the end of this guide that correspond to your computer model.
2To open the CONFIG.SYS file, type :
edit config.sys
and press Enter.
3Compare the CONFIG.SYS example to the file on your edit screen and make any necessary changes. You may not need to make any changes.
When you have finished editing, the example and your actual file should be identical.
4Carefully check your edits with the example, be sure all your edits are correct before proceeding.
Typographical errors may cause severe problems when you restart the computer.

What To Do Next
Congratulations! You have reconfigured your computer!
Although you have installed all the software included with your Toshiba computer, you may notice some minor differences. These include cosmetic changes as well as the lack of references to the Master Disk Creator and to the On-line Help which was the software reproduction of your Toshiba Reference Manual.
You should also consult your MS-DOS User's Guide for important information on the MEMMAKER program and how it can optimize your system's resources.
