FAQ TIME! (was: Re: [LIB] So who makes an 8.4mm drive?)
Date: Fri, 01 Mar 2002 02:15:54 -0800 From: Tom Stangl, VFAQman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FAQ TIME! (was: Re: [LIB] So who makes an 8.4mm drive?) This has been covered TONS of times in the Archives. Tim, I really suggest you read through the Archives before rehashing questions that have been covered s many times before. Also, go here - http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ Read it all. It will really help, it helped me in the beginning. But to answer your question, 9.5mm drives fit FINE in the 50/70 and 100/110, you just have to remove some small spacers from inside the machine, or you might stress the mb and break the RAM solder joints free. I see that: http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ listed in the footer is no longer there - does anyone know where that info went, or is it what is posted at the Adorable site? Can we get it removed from the message footer? I am willing to host an HTML FAQ with links to useful pages, but I don't have time to track them all down, so if people could reply to this thread with the more useful pages they've found THAT STILL EXIST, I'll start building a links page. Then again, if someone has already built a really good links page, we need it added to the footer of messages to the list.

Of course, I can't compare it to any other similar drive ... round here you can only get Fujitsu drives (IBM laptop hard drives haven't been available for months). - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

It'd be interesting to hear if anyone has had any problems. People have been doing this for a few years now too. I'll be interested to read Pres's comments on his failures. Certainly I can't see how you could cause damange in an L100 with a 9.5mm hard drive given that the cavity (with the spacers removed) is AT LEAST 10mm (I can wobble my 9.5mm hard drive up and down in there, I'm considering putting some spacers back in so I don't stress the connector at the other end). As for my L50, it was a nice fit ... I could hold the hard drive at the opening and let go and it'll slide down under its own weight until it hit that metal pressure contact (designed to give good metal to metal contact for grounding the hard drive). Then all it needed was a gentle tap to hit the hdd connector and a firm push to seat the connector. The only problem I can think of is if you don't take the motherboard out to remove the spacers ... if so its highly likely you'd miss the spacers right at the back ... if you forget those (a blue one and a clear one) then you'll have problems. I took the motherboard out and pulled the black plastic thing all off, cleaned it all out then put the black plastic thing back in to make sure I'd removed all the spacers. Hope this helps! - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Win98se complains that there is already an operating system installed and I need the upgrade software to do what I want to do.. does anybody know a way around this, other than starting from scratch with reformating the disk, and loading Win98se from a different computer, or buying a separate upgrade CD? I'd format clean given that upgrading on a laptop is asking for trouble (in fact upgrading on ANY computer that isn't 100% clean is asking for trouble). I'd also get one of those hard drive converters to let you put the hard drive into a desktop. Partition the hard drive IN THE LAPTOP to make sure any quirks (such as hibernation) are taken care of (the newer Toshibas actually hibernate into a file anyway so that shouldn't matter) then put it into a desktop to copy all the install files and drivers across ... then back into the laptop and do the whole install from the hard drive.

Hi Konrad I've got a L110 running Win2k SP2 and the Win2k hibernation works fine with my libby... As far as I know, the Toshiba hibernation is disabled by Win2k's ACPI. Also the Win2k hibernation data is stored in a 64mb file on your Windows drive rather than at the end of the disk Toshiba's hibernation puts it.

Fixed that and now I noticed that hibernation does not work properly under win2k Namely, when hibernating, win2k hibernation takes over instead of the Toshiba hibernation (the disk saving picture thing). Also, when waking up from hibernation, it never makes it, just sits there and then suggests to discard hibernation data and restart. I would liek to fix this, works otherwise quite well.

Get an 8.45mm HDD and call it a day You removed those spacers and it still failed? I removed mine and the HDD is practically a drop-in fit ... no pressure on the motherboard at all. Maybe you've responded in a post I haven't gotten to, but I'll reply here anyway. Yeah Pres... I didn't realize anyone had had problems with dropping a 9.5mm drive into the L50s or L70s. You say above that the L50s were damaged by HDD insertion. This implies to me that during the process of inserting and/or removing the drives, you damaged components on the the MB. I was always under the impression that as long as the spacers were taken out, that there would be no physical contact or heat problem. But that's not the case. Removing the spacers is a help, but not a cure. I did it, I ruined it, that's that. Thanks Pres Waterman W2PW c/o Patchogue Motors, Inc.

And now David has confirmed that a number of other people had the same experience. Of course I don't know the full circumstances surrounding these other failures.

Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2002 07:31:17 + From: T i m [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Mobo damage from thickies or not? [T] I know (most) things expand when they get hot but I don't think a 9.5mm drive would be able to expand enough on it's own to do any damage if the fit was 'reasonable' in the first place would it? Of course, the rest of the Libby would be expanding / shrinking at the same time and could make matters worse? I think the thermal expansion is not likely to be a problem - don't forget that a hole in something gets bigger at the same ratio that it would if it were full of the original material. Differential expansion is probably present but it's parts per hundred thousand. Still, it seems I've read where a lot of people have bought and installed 9.5mm HDDs recently. And I don't remember and posts about problems with those. [T] From what I think I have read (and I'm new to all this don't forget), one of the 'problems' seen when / after fitting 'bigger' drives is that some components get ripped off the motherboard and other joints are put under strain and then fatigue / crack / break? Bits ripped off, no. I suspect people may nt be as careful as they would wish to be (didn't I phrase that delicately?) in the actual insertion and removal, if they're damaging things when the spacers have been removed. If you're concerned, remove or loosen the case screws before you change the discs rather than leaving the case tight. You're probably best advised to take the back off to remove the spacers anyway.

Hi Neil, neil barnes wrote: It appears that the mobo is more flexible than is good for it. It also appears that the 50 case and the 70 case (which had the fatter drive) are *not* identical to each other, although they will work on either machine with a little filing around the hole where the expansion port pokes through. Neil [T] So, would I be right in assuming I would be 'safer' finding myself an 8.x mm drive and fitting that, rather than risking my new 'baby' on a big fat nasty board cracking 9.5mm monster? IMHO this is much ado about nothing. If the drive slides in with minimal pressure then unless you angle the drive upwards whilst inserting it you can't do any damage. I think what is most likely happening with some people's drives is either their drives have screws or labels that sit slightly proud of the surface and are lifting the drives up (hence putting pressure on the motherboard), the black plastic under the motherboard is slightly wrinkled (again pressure on the motherboard) or they've not fully cleaned all the gunk from between the lower plastic sheet and the case (eg. the residue of the adhesive of the spacers). Also, some people remove the spacers by ripping them out through the side of the case and not by taking the mobo out to get to them, for them its real easy to miss the spacer at the far end so that may also be a factor. If you remove the plastic sheet on the bottom and the spacers you should be fine. You'll definitely be fine if the hard drive is loose enough for a drop fit.

Re: [LIB] Mobo damage from thickies or not?

Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2002 07:31:17 + From: T i m [EMAIL PROTECTED] Were they being operated in extremely hot conditions that the larges HDD affectewd somehow? [T] I know (most) things expand when they get hot but I don't think a 9.5mm drive would be able to expand enough on it's own to do any damage if the fit was 'reasonable' in the first place would it? Of course, the rest of the Libby would be expanding / shrinking at the same time and could make matters worse? I was thinking more in terms of there being a little less room for the 9.5mm drive, and if a particular HDD gets hotter than most... could its closer proximity to the MB cause overheating problems? Do HDDs have overheating problems? Though I'm great at missing huge things that are taped to my nose. [T] Sometimes we can't see the Wood for the trees though eh?
