Common BIOS key sequences:

<Del>
<Esc>
<F1>
<F2>
<F10>
<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Esc>
<Ctrl> + <Alt> + <s>

I found on this page (http://mazingerzeta.net/toshiba_satellite.html), posted by someone who has the same laptop: "To get to bios boot up and hit ESC, then F1."

awesome ESC key on start-up did it I thought i tried that at some point guess not Thanks!

So anyone have a clue where i can find info on what type of Hard this uses if i can only find a working drive for this i'll stick windows 95B on it for my 5yr to play some games,.

Any laptop drive would work.. Just make sure you get one around the same size to avoid BIOS problems!!

If you go to the Toshiba website and search that system, it will tell you what can in the laptop as standard hardware!!
