It'll happen the first time the libby hibernates. This may be because you went start>suspend (the libby writes hibernation data at suspend time, that way if power is lost during suspend at least it can recover, not like other laptops), if your suspend timer timed out, if your processor overheated or if you ran outa battery power. >> Well you can get around the card and socket services thingy if you put all the >install files and Windows drivers for your CD-ROM drive onto the hard drive using >another computer ... that way you can do the entire install with the hard drive in >the libby, and the hard drive will have all the files you'll need.

Where will I find them Ray? I got most of the stuff I could see from the >Tosh Canada site? Find what? The CD-ROM drivers? They'll come from the company that made the CD-ROM drive.
