From: Please help - need DOS in HDD

I may have missed the model number but is it a 2131 or 2130. If so it is a tablet PC, no floppy, no CD-rom. Like you I asked and no one knew the answer. After hours of research I found the solution.
First. a regular format on another machine will not work. when you put the drive back into the fujitsu series b laptop it will give you a disk error.
I figured there may be something proprietary to their formatting.
the only thing that worked was to buy a port replicator part number cp044155, then buy an external molex floppy drive that connects to the port replicator...a USB cd-rom nor a usb floppy will work, it must be the part number CA 02950-1482 Fujitsu model FPCFDD02. You will also need a proprietary boot floppy from
fujitsu. don't remember the link and can't find it back.
Once you have those 3 things it's as simple as described above. First format the disk while still in the laptop using the boot floppy, make sure you either format /s or sys the hard drive so it will have the DOS OS to boot into.
Then remove the hard drive from the laptop and hook it up using a external usb case to another computer. With that computer pop in your 2k disk and right click copy the 2k cd to the laptop drive.
Now put the drive back in the laptop boot the laptop using the hard drive, navigate to the install directory for on the hard drive type setup and it's just like installing from the cd only faster. I've done this on 3 of these same machines with 98 2k and XP and all work great. Even fast enough for web surfing a little extra ram helps but contrary to some beliefs it runs pretty smoothly with XP.
Oh ya, check ebay for port replicator and maybe the floppy for better price, you'll get raped through Fujitsu

Really?!unsa nga process?

Kay kung normal na paagi lang dile jud mu work...

[k.A.i]

tara diay,

gi-ingon ani nako akoa.

Fujitsu laptop without cd-rom, floppy disk, usb support (with network but it always fail on network setup).

what you need:

HDD enclosure(para maconnect sa pc ang hd) (i suggest enclosure coz IDE adaptor cant see my laptop HD)
XP installer cd.
Another pc with CD drive

Steps:
1. connect your Laptop HD to a Desktop PC (using HDD enclosure)
2. start windows xp setup using command argument "/syspart:LaptopDriveLetter /tempdrive:LaptopDriveLetter /makelocalsource /noreboot"
example:
-2.1 go to command prompt
-2.2 go to D:\i386 folder ex. "cd D:" then "cd i386" (where D is XP installation CD drive)
-2.3 type "winnt32 /syspart:E: /tempdrive:E: /makelocalsource /noreboot" (where E is your Laptop hard disk drive).
-2.4 press Enter. (setup will begin)
3. After Setting up XP on your Laptop HDD, remove your Laptop HDD for Desktop
4. Install HDD to your laptop
5. turn on
6. continue setting up xp on your laptop
7. DONE!.

Let’s break it down. D:\I386\winnt32 starts the XP installer from the CD drive. The /syspart:E: switch tells the installation to make E: drive the system drive. The /tempdrive:E: switch directs the temporary files to the drive specified by the switch. The /makelocalsource switch tells XP to copy all the source files to the drive so you don’t need the CD anymore. And finally the /noreboot switch tells the system to not reboot after the files have been copied.

winnt32.exe command arguments

/syspart: DriveLetter
On an x86-based computer, specifies that you can copy Setup startup files to a hard disk, mark the disk as active, and then install the disk into another computer. When you start that computer, it automatically starts with the next phase of Setup. You must always use the /tempdrive parameter with the /syspart parameter.

/tempdrive: DriveLetter
Directs Setup to place temporary files on the specified partition. For a new installation, Windows XP will also be installed on the specified partition.

mao ni pinakasayon ang nahibaw-an so far.

doing it yourself is the best thing to learn. but if its a hassle sa imo or you dont have the things needed then having an expert do it for you is a safer method..

Good luck...
