ok, so I"m am trying to reformat and reinstall the toshiba TE2100 laptop. I popped the two recovery CD's in and it went through both of the Cd's successfully.....
after that, a message box popped up, and here is what it says:

*something in Korean* Cd-rom *someting in korean* FDD *something in korean* ctrl +alt +del *something in korean.

I know what the english are, but what are the *something in korean*? I am having trouble reading the message box because I can't read the korean part of the message box.

I think that the process of doing a fresh install are pretty much the same for all computers, so does any one who have experience have any idea what this message box is telling me to do?

oh yea, after I push ctrl +alt + del, it says "enter system disk and press any key to continue," so I"m assuming it is asking me to eject my recovery CD, and enter a system disk into the FDD. I'm not sure if my computer came w/ a floppy disk though, so I dont know.

but if it did, is there a place to d/load the system disk?
thanx
 
Maybe it's saying remove all disks from the floppy and CD-ROM drives and press CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot? That's my guess.

Dude, that's a Korean insult! I'd go kick someone at Toshiba's butt for that!!!

I love people who want you to trouble shoot like this... "I got an error that says something about something... what's wrong with my computer?"


... the operator, most likely.
 
I've run across this before. I can help.

"Lazy Americans prefer to use CD Rom, but in the beautiful land of Korea, we prefer FDD though it may be old and have diminshed capacity, it is better than what Americans like. Press ctrl+alt+del to see this message again.




😀 Feh, I got nuthin'

Then your BIOS isn't set to boot from your hard drive, or your hard drive has no valid boot record.

well, after that message came up, and it asked me to restart, the boot order changed to HDD ---> FDD.....

so the boot order changed to the HDD
 
also, I found microsoft sites has korean xp boot disks to download.....I"m not sure if hat will help or not.......any idea??
 
well, if anybody is korean here, I can try to draw it on paint, and let you guys read it..........

.....

can anybody read korean?
 
ok, this is gonig to be my last triple post........but I figured out what the korean stuff was. It just told me to remove and disks from the CD and FDD.

so now, someone says that my "boot record" is lost or soemthing.......
so if I get the korean boot disks from microsoft.com, would that help?
