Hello,

I bought "new" Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (SP4320, PS432E) laptop for early WIN and DOS games. After basic cleaning/disassembling/assembling it runs great. It has good DOS sound compatibility but problem is, that it has WinXP installed.

I'd like to install fresh Win98SE but I don't have recover CDs. It is possible to install clean Win98 and obtain drivers from toshiba website, but last time with Thinpad T41, it was pain in the ass to find and install correct drivers. Recovery CDs for T41 were very helpful and install was quite a fun.

Problem is, that I can't find those Recovery CDs for Satellite 4300 Series anywhere on the internet.

Is here anyone who owns this CDs and will be so kind to upload them?

I have the same laptop and installed MS Dos 6.22 a long time agoo. Just for DOs games.
I even found the true Yamaha OPL sounddriver for Dos, so all games run with sound.

Did you install extra memory? (mine has one bank empty and runs on 64MB)
I'm thinking on installing Windows 98 from an ISO I have. I don't have any native/original Toshiba software so i think it will be try and error.

You should be ok with a vanilla win98 install ... drivers are here ->> https://support.dynabook.com/support/modelHom … 65&osId=3333623

GREAT! thanks!

Offtopic - I think i will use DOS for now but the screen is giving me black borders and 640x480 res in dos.
IS there a way to load sort of Savage Dos-driver or an setting wich uses full screen in Dos?

Not sure but you could try .. https://archive.org/details/savage2000fore.g.diamondviperii

I run win 3.11 on it so this might be fun to!
Apparantly there is a setting in Bios that will stretch the LCD - not sure if my 4300 has it.
I'll find out tonight.

Thanks
