Thanks for being my sounding board ;-) -Original Message----- From: Chris Hogan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 19 January 2007 14:46 To: Libretto Subject: OT: Help with disk setup on a Toshiba laptop Hi all, This isn't a libretto question but I know the knowledge on this list about hard disks and operating systems is second to none so I'd be grateful if anyone could help on this. I have an old Toshiba T2150 (Pentium I think, 20MB Ram, 800Mb HD) which I've been using to play with a variety of different operating systems over the years, various flavours of Linux and BSD mostly. But I now want to get rid of it through my local freecycle group so I thought I'd put Win95 back on it, I don't like the idea of putting things on freecycle that are unusable. But although I can fdisk and format the hard drive and get it running under DOS, Win95 setup fails with the following message: Setup found a compressed volume or disk-cache utility on your computer. Quit setup and blah... If I force it to go further, it unpacks the initial setup files then fails with error SU-0013 which is basically saying that it can't find an MS-Dos partition to use. I have tried using various different combinations of DOS to fdisk and format the HD, from Dos 5.0 to Win98SE, including a Win95 boot floppy, all to no avail. I've also tried fdisk /MBR with each version, no change. I have booted it with the most basic dos configuration, i.e. no config.sys or autoexec.bat at all and setup files on the hard disk so there's no CD drivers in memory (actually the CD drive's broken now anyway ) I've tried the boot disks on the Toshiba site (I never had the original disks) and although they boot up, they only have basic Dos with CD drivers and tools to restore from CD (which I don't have and the drive is now broken... etc etc). There's no fdisk/format on them and if I boot from them and then use the fdisk/format programs from another Dos version then they won't run (because they say 'incorrect Dos version'). I have also used a disk utility to zero the contents of the hard drive, then fdisk/format, but again, no change. So I am forced to conclude that the problem isn't to do with anything that's being loaded into memory at startup, and isn't anything wrong with the one primary DOS partition I'm creating (FAT32, btw). That leaves either a hardware fault (unlikely, I feel) or something in the boot sector (or other area on the disk) that Windows 95 setup doesn't understand, and it's making it think the hard disk isn't partitioned correctly. Not surprising since it's had all sorts of boot loaders and enablers on it over the years. I have two questions: 1: Would the disk zeroing program (Maxtor Maxblast, if anyone's interested) include the boot sector, or in it's zeroing? 2: What the *@"!%£* can I try next!! I have to admit that although I muck around with PC's a lot, the boot sector is one area where my knowledge is limited. Any thoughts gratefully welcomed. Chris

I have tried using various different combinations of DOS to fdisk and format the HD, from Dos 5.0 to Win98SE, including a Win95 boot floppy, all to no avail. I've also tried fdisk /MBR with each version, no change. I have booted it with the most basic dos configuration, i.e. no config.sys or autoexec.bat at all and setup files on the hard disk so there's no CD drivers in memory (actually the CD drive's broken now anyway ) I've tried the boot disks on the Toshiba site (I never had the original disks) and although they boot up, they only have basic Dos with CD drivers and tools to restore from CD (which I don't have and the drive is now broken... etc etc). There's no fdisk/format on them and if I boot from them and then use the fdisk/format programs from another Dos version then they won't run (because they say 'incorrect Dos version'). I have also used a disk utility to zero the contents of the hard drive, then fdisk/format, but again, no change. So I am forced to conclude that the problem isn't to do with anything that's being loaded into memory at startup, and isn't anything wrong with the one primary DOS partition I'm creating (FAT32, btw). That leaves either a hardware fault (unlikely, I feel) or something in the boot sector (or other area on the disk) that Windows 95 setup doesn't understand, and it's making it think the hard disk isn't partitioned correctly. Not surprising since it's had all sorts of boot loaders and enablers on it over the years. I have two questions: 1: Would the disk zeroing program (Maxtor Maxblast, if anyone's interested) include the boot sector, or in it's zeroing? 2: What the *@"!%£* can I try next!! I have to admit that although I muck around with PC's a lot, the boot sector is one area where my knowledge is limited. Any thoughts gratefully welcomed. Chris

Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2002 18:46:04 - From: "Chris Hogan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Libretto replacement-ish review Been lurking for eighteen months now after a change of job meant that I had to give up my L100, and ended up buying a small ThinkPad. But recently the motherboard went on the ThinkPad, and while I wait to be told that its beyond economic repair, I rushed down to Tottenham Court Rd and spent £725 (+VAT) on a fujitsu-siemens P2020 Lifebook. Its got WinME, apparently XP is available too, 128Mb, 633Mhz Crusoe, 15MbHD, built-in modem, one pcmcia slot, 2 USB, firewire (whatever that is ;-) etc. First impressions are that its a little bigger in all directions than my much missed L100, and 50% heavier, but it does have a CD/DVD built-in, which has been more useful than I thought it would be, now that most drivers come on CDs, or online. The peripherals are a bit lacking but it does have all three audio sockets, which I use heavily, and with USB's ubiquity these days I hope I won't miss the serial/mouse/keyb ports. Most annoyingly it has a proprietary (as far as I know) SVGA port and the adapter to D-type is not included (despite the salesperson's assurance ;-). There is an S-video out as well though, but I haven't got anything else with that! (cf firewire comment) The screen seems very clear and its nice to be back to the Libretto-style format. Just finishing my first 24hours of ownership during which I've re-installed programs and data, and it goes into standby/hib perfectly so far. Not sure what battery life will be like but it lasted for two hours earlier today and reported 41% remaining. Not a true Libretto replacement but pretty closebut the most frustrating thing is that I recently discovered that my old L100 has been lying in a drawer unused and the company have agreed to let me have it, but I couldn't get hold of the person who has to release it to me!!

IIRC in the end I discovered that either the phone or the lib (think it was the lib) did not have a 'standard' IR implementation so it was a dead horse from the start. I know that one guy had it working but with a 110CT and a Communicator.
