"ROM Basic" refers to the BASIC interpreter found in old IBM PCs. When the hard drive was not installed properly, you would be dropped into the BASIC interpreter instead. Most PC clones, including your laptop, do not include a BASIC interpreter.
Make sure that you have installed the hard drive properly, and that you have installed an operating system on it. Otherwise, the laptop will not be able to boot.
get a external CD drive best buy
The Toshiba is the the system.
yes you can i already did it. I installed Mac OS X Snow leopard and updated it to 10.6.5...
If your laptop has a PCMIA slot, then obviously you can plug the card in. Check the box that comes with what you buy, it should tell you in numerous places what it's compatible with.

Yes you still need a portable tv adapter for a toshiba 40 inch hdtv. They are east to install and easy to follow the instructions too. Toshiba is a good reputable brand you will be happy with.
My HP Pavilion m6 is stock installed with a 640GB "HP ProtectSmart" Hard-drive, but in my system information it is labeled as a "TOSHIBA MK6476GSX SATA Disk Device." So that leads me to believe yes, in fact some HP laptops ship with Toshiba Hard-Drives.
No, it does not come with Skype.
As no one here knows what programs you have installed nor do we know what you use the computer for it is impossible to say.
