Information
The purpose of this document is to outline a procedure to reload Windows 95
on a 435CDS without having to do a complete Recovery (i.e. Format the Hard
Disk and reload all pre-installed software).

Items needed:

1. Satellite 435CDS Companion Diskette.
2. Satellite 435CDS Recovery Boot Diskette
3. Satellite 435CDS Toshiba Recovery CD-ROM
4. Certificate of Authenticity - Found on the Microsoft Windows 95 booklet.

3. At the Toshiba Companion Diskette Utility Menu, Press ENTER and
Exit to DOS. (To the A:\> prompt)

4. EDIT CONFIG.SYS

+ Alt-F, Exit, Yes to Save.

5. EDIT AUTOEXEC.BAT
