When I was trying to install a new hard disk, I didn't remove the battery, now the libretto doesn't find the hard disk, even a new one. I would like to fix it and use it again. Hello Fernando, I had similar problems with my 100ct not finding the hard drive on power up some times. It turned out to be the 32Mb memory expansion module located under the keyboard. Removing this allowed the machine to find the hard drive, so I bought a new memory module and the machine is working fine now. If fitted, you might want to try temporarily removing the memory module. Lift the plastic strip above the keyboard from the right hand side gently. The keyboard should now come away from the base of the machine with ease. One screw holds the memory in place. Dont forget to remove the battery this time ;) HTH Dave ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---TO UNSUBSCRIBE--- Reply to any of the list messages.

[LIB] OS experiences on 50CT (so far - Win NT)
Date: Tue, 19 Mar 2002 09:59:37 -0600 From: Lines, Nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: OS experiences on 50CT (so far - Win NT) I thought the list may be interested to hear how I got on with Windows NT on the Libretto. If not, I suppose the DEL key is always close at hand... If using 8.4GB on NT, you need EZDrive or an overlay. I found this the hard way as I assumed that NT qualified as a 32 bit OS that would be able to tweak the nose of the BIOS to go directly to the tin. Haha, wrong. How I laughed at the wasted hours. Forget anything apart from EZDrive 9.09W. Fujitsu Disk Manager is, erm, poor. Run from a Win95 boot disk, it crashes with divide by zero error or stack overflow, or any number of woeful messages. My eternal(*) thanks to both David and the gestalt known as Matt for sending that and getting me out of my pickle. Even with EZBios installed, disk administrator doesn't grok the drive properly. It thinks it's a 7.5GB physical drive with, amongst other partitions, the F partition that's 11GB. Yeah, right. It's dazed and confused. Saving the disk admin data does not corrupt the disk. This surprised me. (As you can tell, I was the sort of kid who tried things to see if they would hurt...) WinNT drivers for the Libretto 50 are good. The sound works, suspend works (no small feat), display is good and there's even a hairy lightbulb. Everything seems rock solid. However, I need two things from the machine: hot swap PCMCIA (pc card) as I intend to dump stuff from my digital camera onto the disc, and suspend support to save boot times. PCMCIA hot swap came from SystemSoft Card Wizard. Good software that works. I also tried CardWare, and that didn't work. So cardwizard would get the vote IF, and this is a big IF, IF it supported suspend. Which it doesn't on my config. So I downloaded PowerProfiler/SE to try, again from SystemSoft. This installed, and asked me to reboot, which I did. Upon startup, explorer then caused a Dr Watson error when it tried to start. My how I laughed! I was a teensy weensy bit peeved at this time. WinNT had overwritten the Last Known Good backup controlset as I'd succeeded in logging on - despite explorer crashing. So I thought, knackers to this. And installed Win95, with a handy space left for Mandrake - cheers Mr Barnacle - to try and live on... My conclusion? If you want hot swap cards with decent Power Management the way Toshiba intended, use Win95. *sigh*. Another wasted weekend :-) Round 3, Nick vs Mandrake 7.1, should be coming to a mailing list near you RSN. Thanks all, Nick.
