Can you just plug a 2.5 inch drive into an ide socket on a desktop computer, where will it get its power from? Thanks again for replying John Wilkinson -----Original Message----- From: Raymond [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 August 2003 15:29 To: Libretto Subject: Re: [LIB] Boot Disk for Libretto 100 Date: Fri, 08 Aug 2003 22:31:39 +0800 From: Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [LIB] Boot Disk for Libretto 100 Hi John, Trying to boot from a clean DOS disk and load CD drives on the Libretto tends to be an exercise in frustration, helped in no part by the fact that when the libby boots off it's floppy disk drive, the PCMCIA slots go into a non-standard mode (normally you need card and socket services loaded to get PCMCIA devices working under DOS, obviously this won't be loaded if you're booting off the floppy drive so instead the BIOS uses some funny mode which confuses the heck out of most if not all other devices). A solution that may leave more hair on your head is to boot back into Windows with the CD-ROM drive drivers installed then copy the contents of the I386 folder from the CD onto the hard drive. Then run winnt32.exe (I think, it may be called something else, I can never remember! It should be the one with 32 on the end though) from the I386 folder from within windows to start the install (don't worry, it gives you the option of an independant install), then once Win2k is fully loaded you can delete the Win98 stuff. If you're low on disk space, I *think* you can get away with running the setup program from the CD without doing the first copy ... IIRC the setup program copies most, if not all of I386 to the hard drive anyway (as in if you do the first copy, you end up with 2 copies of almost all the files on your hard drive anyway). I've not tried it this second way before so I don't know if it causes any problems down the line ... not that it should ... If you're trying to do this from a clean drive, the easiest solution (after you partition in the libretto - check the archives for several rants on this topic!) is to take the hard drive out and put it into a desktop computer then copy the I386 directory across. Then, put it back into the libretto, boot off a DOS boot disk and run the winnt.exe (or whatever the setup file is called ... this time the one without the 32 on the end) setup file and proceed as before. Hope this helps! - Raymond At 07:19 AM 8/08/2003 -0700, you wrote: >Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 15:17:16 +0100 >From: "John Wilkinson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Boot Disk for Libretto 100 > >I am trying to upgrade my hard disk and install win 2000 professional.
