Greg,
Contact Toshiba about acquiring replacement Restore CD's. They may also be available
on Ebay through this link.
Windows 98, unless it's for the Tecra 8100, and exact model # will not have the drivers
you need. I believe they came both ways. XP and Win98SE.

Before you buy anything, make sure it is for your System, EXACTLY. Close ain't good
enough with Laptops. Go by Toshiba ID numbers only. First, though, Try Toshiba. They
may still be available.
Good hunting.Try google for Toshiba Accessories.
