Hi all, The moment is nearing when I can officially call myself a Librettiarian (or whatever you guys/gals call yourselves .. I can feel another thread starting on this one?) and I had an idea (I'm sitting down now .. it's ok ..). I use simple removable drive trays on my std PC (can say 'std PC' on here? <grin>) and have been given a 6G 2.5" drive ready to swap out with the 810M one in the 50CT. I drive was given to me in a PCMCIA external unit and last night I plugged it into my old Tosh T2150CDS and formatted and copied the system files to it (W98SE). I then created a Win95 folder and copied the contents of my Win95 folder (OSR2) on the CD to the HDD. Then I remembered I hadn't made the partition active and of course I couldn't when I already had one. But, I had the idea of using one of the removable drives with a 2.5 > 3.5" converter inside, giving me easy access to the few 2.5" drives I have collected (1G, 500M, 270M). Anyone see any problems with this idea? This way (in theory) I can boot my PC from floppy and assuming disk geometry can be 'auto detected' (is this also the case in a 50CT?) I can load all the drivers (as mentioned in a previous similar post) ready for installation into the Lib. All the best and thanks for all the help / advice you have given me so far ...
