devices it allow is only floopy disk and harddrive...i formatted both
partition on that harddrive and installed DOS 7.10 on it..

I'm afraid you've posted in a newsgroup that is focused on Windows Tablet PC
Edition and the Tablet features in Windows Vista. It's not a hardware or OS
install forum, and that old lifebook is not a Tablet PC, though it might be
a tablet shaped PC.
