"Windows 98SE has a default limitation of 137GB supporting ATA interface disc drives. Therefore, your boot drive partition will have a maximum size of 137GB."!!!!! Therefore, even with a drive overlay program, you'll only see 137GB of drives larger than that under Windows 98SE on the Librettos. You can't exceed this limit at all due to the OS constraints. (ie. move up to W2K,WXP instead) W2K would be the 'best' choice for a slow Libretto due to the limited RAM available, and preferably, only on the Libretto 100/110 or newer systems (the older ones have too little RAM and CPU speed IMO). ---- On the flip side, the Libretto U100 is now selling for as low as $1500 new (www.shopper.com), so in a few more months, it may well be a great upgrade for older Libretto owners who want a little more power and features, but a small notebook. Those who don't care should look at the $850 Sony FS810 notebook on sale this week at BestBuy.com stores! An excellent DVD burning notebook cheap that'll do quite a lot w/o spending too much. (Yes, you can get faster models and spend $$$, but that's always the case.) Those wanting even cheaper can get the HP/Compaq on sale for about $500, but I'd avoid it due to the lower reliability of HP/Compaq laptops over the past several years in PC Mag and PC World rankings. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
