And you don't necessarily have to split the case open in order to replace the HDD. Two screws on the bottom on the end opposite the PC Card will remove a tiny cap that gives you access to the HDD. It slides right out, and a 8.5mm slides right in. Cap and screws can be replaced in a flash, and you'll never see any evidence it was ever accessed. But if a 9.5mm HDD was ever forced in using this method, and later removed, it could have caused physical or overheating damage to MB components. >The disk access fault only seemed (past tense) to appear when doing a 'warm >boot' but has never appeared after a straight switch on or power cycle?< Okay... if the boot problem disappeared after re-installing the OS, the MB is probably fine.

Your description of your boot problem wasn't quite clear (concise ;-P) and confused us a bit. Sounded like you had a dead HDD there for a while. But it appears that warm boot problem went away after reinstalling W95, even if you had the same problem with the MapSource software. And are you accessing MapSource via the CD, or are you copying it to the HDD? Is this still a PCMCIA problem? >I'm in the process of sticking 98SE on the libby .. (longshot) .. I assume you've downloaded the Toshiba W98 drivers for the 50CT for your W98 SE installation. Although W98 runs a little slower than W95 on the 50CT, I like the fact that it has far more drivers, and can detect and set up much more hardware automatically. I've also liked its system maintenance utilities like MSCONIG that lets me easily turn of programs that insist on being run at boot, as well as SFC (System File Checker) that can search and replace corrupted system files, or let's you extract one that you've lost from the W98 installation disk.
