Transferring application files

There may be instances when you will need to transfer
application files from the Recovery CD that comes with your
computer. A CD-ROM drive is not a standard feature of the
Portégé R100 Series computers, but you can transfer these
files to your computer in the following ways:
❖
Use an external CD-ROM drive.
You can order a PORT-Noteworthy PC Card CD-ROM
drive from Toshiba and install it in the PC Card slot on
the right side of the computer. Alternatively, if you have a
PC Card SCSI adapter, you can use a SCSI CD-ROM
drive.
❖
Connect to a network.
You can access your Recovery CD by connecting your
notebook to the office network. You then can upload the
files on the CD from another computer with a CD-ROM
drive onto a network server and download the files onto
your notebook.
