I've spent a day or so puzzling how I was going to install Windows on one of these machine that had a corrupt boot-sector (and so couldn't boot). The manual says you have to use an official Toshiba CD-drive and hunting around the web suggested you could boot off the SD card slot. Both of these were impossible (my USB CD drive was a no-name one that the BIOS didn't recognise and the boot image I wrote onto the SD card couldn't load a DOS-mode USB optical driver).However - all credit to Brian and Simon who discovered that by using one of these they could boot it off a regular IDE CD-Rom drive.
Job done!
