Hello and nice to meet you all,

Someone gave me this laptop, it's a Toshiba T1200XE
As far as I can figure it, it is dated about 1990-93(?)
The things that came with it are some floppies,
1) MS DOS 4.01- 4 floppies (install, shell, diagnostic and another ONE I cant think of RIGHT now,
sorry, I'm not home) there are some manuals that came with it, but they all say for any error messages, look it up inside the "HELP" which I cant access.
Anyway, here is whats happening:
I plug it in and press the power button and it starts to do the Memory Test, then it gives me this message:
"Error encountered intializing HD 0
Error in CMOS
Bad Time Function,
Check system, press any key"

I press any key and then this message comes up:
"Place system disk in drive, press any key when ready"

I put the Backup disk in the FLOPPY drive and hit any key and the same message comes up.

I tried the MS DOS Install, but samething happens.

So before I mess something up I would like to know if anyone has any ideas and also would like to know if this
Laptop or Notebook (I am not even sure which it is)
is even worth time and effort.

Thanks in advance for any help that is out there.
