Old 1996 Toshiba Satellite 420CDT pro w/ WIndows 98

[timebandit71]

it looks like it might have had an harddrive upgrade, i didnt think 2 gig harddrives existed in 96, espesially in a laptop I had a Pc desktop at the time and it only had a one gig harddrive.....

[Gamexrakeem]

today i got one for free

[ashleycox432]

that screen is part of the system setup. Try replacing the mainboard battery.

[weirdstuffanimation7]

[11mrewan]

@weirdstuffanimation7 It was me that got it

[thedarkone2134]

I loved this computer, It was my first laptop ever.

I punched the screen after getting angry at someone and thats how it died.

3 people couldnt get their satellite pro 420cdt to boot.

[Tombuutkamp2000]

i'm now on that computer.

i like it because the screen will fade! #LOL !

[woodss82]

first laptop i had about 9 years ago, it wasnt a bad laptop at the time, it did everything I needed at the time, I had internet, office and a portable printer with it.

[Jacob88rOblivion]

I have one like this and I have never known any old toshiba laptop to have broken and they seem to last for ages and mine runs xp amazingly.

[michaelboett173]

@valdus whats the problem? Standart adapter cf to ide and ready. Any problems with it?

Or do you want to know how to make partitions on the T6600C? I've just installed as 1GB extended HDD in Bios, and made with Freedos C: D: E: F: each 1GB. Maybe 2GB on D: and follow works too, but all must be FAT16. .... ok, only 184 180 176 172 signs left.... if u have any problems send me a private message.

[michaelboett173]

mine is slower.... I#ve got an Toshiba T6600C with a grip for.........I don't know....maybe it's build in that I can do my early morning exercise or something. fat mashine. fatter than yours, haha. :) It got's only DX 66 (not DX 2-66), 40MB Ram, and 4GB CF Card as HDD (I don't like moving parts on portable mashines). Ok, hdd is realy big, but old one is damaged. maybe somebody tried to bash this mashine out of a window or something.

[Ishcoa]

Holy! I have almost that exact laptop! I have 490 CDT, and it works too! Mine was made for Windows 95, but about 8 years ago my dad upgraded it to 98. Mine has the Intel Pentium also, but not the Pentium 1, the Pentium 2. Mine is slow, but I was amazed that it still worked. So now I still use Toshiba, as I can trust it for lasting. (I bought a new Toshiba)

[solartape]

hey dude... please try to help me with the problem with my toshiba pro 435cds! watch my vid please... i would be very thankful

[ashthepokemonmaster]

[RSPowerguy]

[video45000]

[RSPowerguy]

Yeah it is.

[gamepro127onPSN]

Toshiba Satellite's pwn. I'm on my second one (My first one still works!!)

[080594M127]

If I were you install Windows 95 on that computer it would run much faster. If you need the floppy images I would be happy to give them to you.

[cyberchecker]

Mine is the Satellite Pro 430 CDT and it works quite good on Windows 98. His Computer has just to be re-installed. The Problem is that you can´t reinstall it without the external Floppy drive. Then you need a HDD adaptor (Ebay) to prepare the HDD on your desktop computer. The internal CD drive won´t boot.

[Broganvoip]

i have 95 on mine, but i think i need at least nt to have wireless internet

[Plantaddictz]

I have tht laptop running apple rhapsody developer release 2 so it is basicly a classic mac now

[nipperoid]

nipple mouse

[monsterlokote]

i have one and i just got th wireless card im makeing it new again putting new memory like 300 gs and new programs ill probably get a new fan for it too

[slipmagic]

too funny...I had the exact same PC. I bought it in late 1996, must have paid around $2,000 for it. It was a tank...I used it for six years and never had a single problem with it.

[codkiller78]

Well I had this laptop a while ago I bought it used well i had the original doom 2 installed on this system good one.

[26highstreet]

you can get a 128mb module upgrade for these and load win xp, it takes about 3 and half hours and runs bloddy slow, processor is too slow 120mhz, just to slow for xp or win 2000

[Dontpickmelast101]

dude i have the same one it still works :)

[GalaxyProductionsLdt]

I have a satellite 4070CDT and it has Windows 98SE installed. Iwas wondering if anyone could tell me hhoe to get XP Home installed on it please. GalaxyProductionsLdt

[BluLightPictures]

I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO TAKE IT APART. I got one for five bucks at an auction the hard drive i think is disconnected

[advancewars658]

i haven't taken it apart :/ but good luck with that

[26highstreet]

hard drive is under the battery, just take the battery cover off, turn the laptop upside down, slide the battery cover off, remove the battery and the hard drive is under there

[robertcoolh]

[080594M127]

Hey man that laptop is awesome just wondering can please give me the Microsoft Office 97 iso image for my Windows 95 virtual pc on my Windows XP Computer,p.s. you should install Windows 2000 on it trust me it would be a lot more efficient.
