Question about Toshiba Satelite 5205-S505 Notebook
Hi, a have Toshiba Satellite 5205-S505 and my problem is that my DVD/CD drive is broken and I can't find another one of the same type. I don't which model will work properly and the main problem for me is how to install my recovery CD's!? Is there a way to do that via USB? My Bios says that my computer doesn't support this option, but......! Thanks a lot! Pavel - Bulgaria
I had a similar problem with an IBM thinkpad once. My solution was to purchase a PCMCIA CDROM drive and boot from that. Go to: http://froogle.google.com/frghp?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&tab=wf&q= and search for "PCMCIA CDROM". Your laptop should boot from one of these devices.

The Bios in this laptop is accessible while Windows is running. Right know I don't have one! In Bios theres a few options to boot the system - via HDD, LAN, CD. There is no USB as an option to boot from. This is why I said that Bios says it want work.
