try buying an external CD drive and, create a boot floppy disk so to redirect the computer to the CD drive.

This has a lot of linux distro on floppies.
You can also boot to a USB thumb drive if that’s possible, and there’s MANY available ways to get that done.

The USB is the best option.

The lifebook should have a USB interface.
Alternatively you can go to

and find a DOS disk of your choice to boot to and run CHKDSK on your harddrive to see if you can recover any errors on the disk.
