Reconfiguration Guide
Your T2100 Series computer comes with a number of programs pre-installed on the hard disk. This guide describes the steps to follow if you ever need to reinstall one or more of these programs.
Each section of this guide describes how to reinstall or reconfigure one program or a group of programs. If you need to reinstall all of the pre-installed programs, start at the beginning and work through the entire guide. Otherwise, read only the sections that apply to the programs you need to reinstall.
Find the Diskettes
To reconfigure your computer, youll need master program diskettes for all of the pre-installed programs. These are the diskettes you either created with Master Disk Creator, or purchased, following the steps in Chapter 2, Lets Start at the Very Beginning…, of the Users Guide.
If you do not have these master program diskettes, use one of the following methods to run Master Disk Creator now:
¨Choose the Master Disk Creator icon in the Toshiba Utilities program group.
¨At the system prompt, type c:\img\mdc and press Enter.
If you do not have these diskettes and, for whatever reason, cannot get Master Disk Creator to run, contact the Diskette Fulfillment Center at 800-276-3238.
Format the Hard Disk
WARNING:Formatting erases all the files on the hard disk. Follow the instructions in this section only if youre doing a complete reinstallation process.
If youre reinstalling all the files on your hard disk, its a good idea to reformat the drive first. This removes all the old files, ensuring the most efficient use of the hard disk space.
