Windows 98 Fresh install on Toshiba 440cdx

I have a friend whom asked me to redo their Toshiba Laptop 440cdx. Easy enough right? nope i have total formated and reinstalled the operation system. The laptop boots up to the point where it is starting to detect the hardware i always get a fatal exception has occurred. i have removed the modem but all other devices must remain in the laptop. Ive copied the files onto the hard drive and install of there instead of the cd-rom. ive checked bios and dont see anything in there to alarm me.. any ideas thanks in advance for any tips/tricks
thanks

A lot of laptops have tailored Windows drivers. Try doing a restore from the recovery CD, if there is one. There may be some information/downloads on Toshiba's web site that will help. Larry
