The following procedures will work for the following models:

Libretto 100CT, 110CT or later
Portege 320CT, 3010CT, 7000/7010CT or later

The Panasonic KXL-810A portable CD-ROM drive should include the drive itself and a PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface card (bundled with KXL-810A). Follow these steps to create a boot diskette:

1. Insert a blank floppy disk into any computer running DOS 6.22 or later, or Windows 95.
2. Use "FORMAT A:/S" command to format the disk and copy system files.
3. Create the following directories on the floppy disk;

   A:\CDROM
   A:\DOS
   

4. Copy the following files into the A:\CDROM directory. These files should be located on Panasonic KXL-810A driver disk or may be obtained from Panasonic.

   ASPIO365.SYS
   KMECD.SYS
   

   Copy the following DOS files into the A:\DOS directory. These files can be located in the DOS directory of the same computer used to create the boot diskette.

   HIMEM.SYS
   MSCDEX.EXE
   SETVER.EXE
   FDISK.EXE
   FORMAT.COM
   

5. Create a Config.sys and Autoexec.bat file on the boot diskette as follows:

   [CONFIG.SYS]
   
   DEVICE=A:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF
   DOS=HIGH,UMB
   DEVICEHIGH=A:\DOS\SETVER.EXE
   DEVICE=A:\CDROM\ASPIO365.SYS /port=300 /mem=CE00
   DEVICE=A:\CDROM\KMECD.SYS /D:PCMCIACD /n:1
   
   [AUTOEXEC.BAT]
   
   @ECHO OFF
   PATH=A:\;A:\CDROM
   A:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:PCMCIACD /L:Q
   

   After the boot diskette has been created, use these steps to restore the software.
6. Attached the Panasonic KXL-810A CD-ROM drive to the Toshiba computer PCMCIA slot via the PCMCIA CD-ROM Interface card.
7. Insert Toshiba Recovery CD into Panasonic CD-ROM drive. Boot up computer using this boot disk. The CD-ROM should now be configured as the "Q" drive.
8. At the DOS prompt type "CD\DOS" and press the "Enter" key to Click DOS directory. Repartition/format the hard drive first using the fdisk and format commands.
9. At the DOS prompt type "Q:" and press the "Enter" key to Click drive Q from drive A.
10. At the DOS prompt type "CD\BIN" and press the "Enter" key to Click BIN directory.
11. At the DOS prompt type the word "RECOVERY" and press the "Enter" key to start the recovery process.

    To create boot diskettes for different third party external CD-ROM Drives, simply replace the driver files under A:\CDROM and modify the Config.sys statements accordingly.
