I don't think that's been shared by anyone yet. I've never seen that on ebay so I'm not sure they're available? I've been on the lookout for original restore files for the Satellite 4xx series but haven't so far come across either a CD or floppy images to do that.

You can look here and there's a reconfiguration guide that runs through the full install procedure to get a setup that matches the factory install: https://minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/Toshiba/Toshiba.htm#430

If you look on archive. org for toshiba satellite + media type = software, you should find some install CD's that should be compatible with your model.
Worst case, I have install IMG floppies (50 Mb) ...

What kind of IMG floppies are they? Specific to Toshiba?
I really need to upload my Toshiba re-install floppy images from a T2130CT's original hard drive to Archive.org.

Yep, I guess the ones for the Satellite Pro 430CDT

ooh, that looks promising. Some of the drivers like the ones for PCMCIA are otherwise very difficult to get. Could you upload those to the Internet Archive?
I just uploaded the ones from my T2130CT: https://archive.org/details/toshiba-t2130ct-recovery/ 😀

Woah, I didn't spot this either - there's a recovery image for the Satellite 400: https://archive.org/details/405cs-drivers-and-recovery - however that won't work for the OP since the 400CDT and 430CDT have different graphics drivers.

Hey, fsr vogons never notified that this thread had activity. I've looked at archive.org however nothing seems to be for the 430 series. I know the 430 and 435 are the same thing, so if anyone has any of that that would be great.

Put a saved search on ebay just in case by some miracle someone decides to sell it. If anyone has any leads on a recovery CD, because according to the toshiba manual it exists. Feels like abandonware though, it doesn't seem to exist outside of manuals. Man, I really wish more people imaged CDs. I'd take a physical or image at this point. I've got a fresh windows 95 install on it, though it just doesn't feel right.

Oh my I can't believe I didn't see this. If you could upload this to archive.org or somewhere that would be amazing!

It is coming, please wait and watch for future adequate Thermalwrong post in this thread.

Sorry if I misunderstood but you said that you had some IMG floppies?

I have an Archive.org account so I'll be helping and uploading them 😀

I'm glad people are sharing these files while they're around - someone just shared the floppy images from Toshiba's next Satellite laptop platform. That's the 440CDx to 480CDx and 220/230Cx models, no good to you since it's got a different graphics chip and sound board but since I see the later PCI platform as a purely win9x laptop, seeing that the 220/230 series can run Windows 3.11 is kinda funny: https://archive.org/details/toshiba-satellite-200cs
I've got a Satellite 230CX that I could potentially put this on, it's got an HPA DSTN screen which I'm keeping that way because while DSTNs are terrible, this one refreshes pretty fast and it's kinda novel. Like an 'evolutionary dead-end' of LCD screen technology.

Thanks a lot, but the second you sent that, someone sent me a message with a link to them for the 435 CDS! https://archive.org/details/ToshibaSatellite435CDSDrivers

Hmm, that's missing the Dos and Windows disks, along with some of the more peripheral stuff - but it's got the important drivers at least. If you install DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.11 using your own media, then install those - it should be about the same as the Toshiba pre-load.

I want to try out these image files but I ran through practically my entire disk collection with the T2130CT pre-load and don't wanna do that again. I may need to spend some time on getting a Gotek / FlashFloppy hooked up to the external floppy port of a Toshiba laptop
