Are you removing the boot floppy and the CD?

Old Toshiba's were always a bear because bios info is stored on the hard drive and then lost when the drive is formatted by traditional means.
Just so I get this right Bod, that laptop has an internal, non-removable cd-rom drive and the floppy is external?
