    It’s pretty hard to ‘accidently’ do all that but OK. If you also wiped the restore partition on the drive then that’s why it’s not working. If you post back on exactly what you did maybe we can figure out if the partition is there or not.

    Also the restore partition was only on Toshibas that were newer than about mid 2007. If yours is older than that then it never had one anyway. Here’s some info:

  2. Have you used the device manager to install the driver by selecting properties of My Computer, Hardware, Device Manager. Scroll down to the sound, games etc and select properties and then try to install the driver.

    Go into Device Manager >> DVD/CD-ROM Drives.
    Right-click the CD drive & choose “Uninstall”.
    Restart Windows & it will automatically re-install the driver for the CD drive.
    Now try using it again.
    If still it doesn’t work, the drive itself may be faulty.

    Check if the light on the front of the drive come on when the machine is powered-on. If so, you may have a bad connection to the drive. If it doesn’t come on, it may have a power-connection loose. Also, the drive could have completely died (it does happen on occasion). If you’re not comfortable on the inside of a machine, it may be best to take it to someone who is, especially since it’s a laptop.

    OK, what did you do while in the BIOS? Did you change any settings? Did you confirm that the hard drive is being properly recognized?

    “Or perhaps how can I factory restore it if I can’t even have it start up to windows?”

    Why would you want to attempt a factory reset when you have no idea what’s wrong? You need to troubleshoot. When’s the last time you blew the dust out of the cooling vents?

    You can format a partition to fat32 from disk management if it’s 32 gig or less in size as windows doesn’t like fat32 partitions larger than that:

    You can do it from command prompt:

    but you need to be careful you know what you’re doing.

    Also, if it’s your intent to install 98 understand that 98 doesn’t natively recognize SATA drives and you’ll have problems installing and running it on SATA.

    I don’t know what “client mode” is, but I suspect it, or the DD-WRT firmware you’re using may be causing your problems. Your game consoles shouldn’t require any special mode settings on the router either in order to connect to the internet.
    Read my how-to guide.

    It details how to interconnect and configure two routers correctly to work within a single subnet (it also details how to setup for two separate subnets but this does not apply in your situation) and does not require any funky settings. Once you have the routers, and the LAN setup correctly, then you share between clients in the usual fashion. If you’re not sure how, google it. Something like “setting up a shared folder in windows 7” should lead you to plenty of info’s and/or guides.

    As to your dell wireless network interface. If it doesn’t have Windows 7 drivers, you won’t get it to work. Or at least, you shouldn’t be able to. If you do, chances are it won’t work right because it doesn’t have the right drivers.

    So, back to what I said in my last post. if that dell wireless card doesn’t have windows 7 drivers, buy a new one that does work with windows 7 and your problem will be solved.
