Did you flash the Bios on your notebook before you installed W2k? This is the bios that supports it - W2K04M0.

Can I flash the bios if I don't have the floppy drive for it? Can I copy the flash to the HD and just run it from there?

No. Generally, you need to have a bootable diskette. If you have a windows98 machine around create a bootable diskette and put that in the A drive of your Tecra with the Bios upgrade on it. However, as a Toshiba owner there is a toll free number for support to help walk you through this: (800) 457-7777. It may be possible to hold down F8 and force W2K into console mode and install it from the hard drive, but I'd check it out with Toshiba to be on the safe side.
