I'm suspicious of the drive itself.
Look through www.toshiba.com for drivers.
Another thing is that if you loaded Windows 95 on a *different* laptop, it may have misconfigured the PCMCIA controller to start with. Go into hardware settings and delete the entries for the PCMCIA controller then reboot, get Windows to redetect then get it to reinstall the 32 bit drivers (do this by double clicking on the PCMCIA entry in Control Panel after you've reinstalled the drivers). I can't remember if the 50 needs it's own PCMCIA drivers, cruise around the toshiba website and see if you find any anyway.
Finally, if you partitioned the hard drive (less than 8 gig) in another computer, be aware that should the laptop hibernate, it may destroy data in the upper portion of the hard drive as the other computer is unlikely to have reserved that space for hibernation data. Use a program such as Ranish Partition Manager or Partition Magic to resize the partition (leave about 50MB of free space at the very end of the drive) to get around this.
Hope this helps!
