Yes, I've successfully installed an IBM 20 GB disk and Win2k. It runs now without problems and with all features of the Lib. The only thing about my IBM disk is, that if I shake the disk, it seems that there are some loose screws falling around inside the disk - but (as diskussed here) this seems to be normal for IBM-disks (but it is hard to imagine, what benefit loose parts in a HD might have...) Depending on the partitioning, it might be possible to install Win2k, if the content of the Win2k-CD already on the Disk, but it is very easy to lock yourself out... I also do not own a CD-ROM. By accident I've destroyed the content of the HD - instead of removing the disk again I installed DOS and used Interlink to transfer the Win2k-CD via a serial cable. It works, but you have to be patient, best is to leave it run over the night. But without an own PC even this method is difficult. You have to know, how to partition the HD correct, to leave space for hibernation at the right position. See my (and others) recent posts to this list. But if you do not own a PC with a LAN-Card, how do you want to install additional Software? And how do you want to backup it? regards Gerhard ________________________________________ Gerhard Kapusta SIEMENS AG Österreich PSE SMC MI3 Email office: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------UNSUBSCRIBE------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe --------UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST------ Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **************************************************************
