Either a docking station or a port replicator will give you the option of connecting an A drive. Do you have a port replicator? I have a docking station with an a: drive for this TP 42P and it generated the disk which I can boot to and get the option of updating the BIOS... Send me a private e-mail. Where are you located. I think I have an extra port replicator. Regards, John Clemente Albany, NY
