Is there any possibility that you're using the wrong BIOS update? If you are in fact using the correct BIOS update, the manufacturer may have released an update/fix for the problem you're having.

Have you tried making a very basic boot floopy with just the 3-4 necessary MS-DOS boot files, and trying the BIOS ugrade from that? Method one: With blank unformatted FD in drive, type 'sys A:' (without quotes) from a MS-DOS window. Method two: Right-click on A: drive in My Computer, select 'Format', and then choose 'Copy system files only'. Maybe you're still having problems with the memory managers on the full Windows boot FD even after disabling them.

From what I understand this newer BIOS will allow me to upgrade OS to WinXP if I want. There's also a new touchscreen driver upgrade to go with it.

I'm getting ready to put a larger drive in the 1100v, and hopefully install a dual boot of win2k and Linux. I've ordered a 7200rpm 40gb drive, hoping that'll perk up the performance for win2k a bit. I disassembled it a bit, just to get an idea of how difficult it will be to get the drive out, and it looks none-too easy. Not like the 50/70 anyway. Either way, the bios on this box claims to be version 7.20, and I've seen (on a German site) version 7.30. I'm not sure I want to flash my bios from some random internet site. Has anyone with an 1100v upgraded their bios? Will 7.20 run Win2k without major headaches? Thanks in advance! -Thom

I'd pickup the Western Digital 9.09W EZ-Drive 9.09W that installes EZ-BIOS overlay 9.06 at: http://160.87.24.223/ezdrv909.zip and install that first. I've used this one for months on my L110 with big HD and it works fine. Also, the most sensible and reliable one I've tried because it's just works, IMO. Use the manual install choice if you desire... -- For me, simply avoid the entire 1010-1040 cylinder section on the HD to avoid having the BIOS hibernation data being written to the 8.4GB area over your data. That means having two partitions for a big HD, but for me, I spent the time to walk the HD with WinHEX to locate the hibernation data on my HD after installing it new to make sure my data was safe. You can do the same test yourself to double check. 1) install EZ-BIOS, partition a small 1GB primary partition, install just Windows, WinHEX and any free HD space zeroing utility. 2) Open up Notepad, write in any unique text string you can search on later, eg "Libretto Rules!", and hibernate to disk. 3) Restore from hibernation, then use WinHex to search the entire HD for "Libretto Rules!". You can have it start at cylinder 1000 because on your HD, it will most likely be near the 8.4GB boundary as well. Scroll back and forth once you've found the text string to find out where the uppper and lower cylinder limits are, then add a few dozen more just to be safe. 4) Otherwise, simply avoid anything at the 8.4GB boundary and partition around the 1010-1040 cylinders like I did. = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

The floppy drive controller is, mostly, housed in a PCMCIA card made by Y-E Data (I say mostly because there are smarts in the laptop that are dedicated to the FDD and allow it to be used at boottime before the PCMCIA slots are actually enabled). That driver is available for download from the Toshiba website. I recommend that all the available drivers for the OS you're using be downloaded and installed ... certainly all the ones for Win9x for both the L50/70 and the L100/110 seem to fix more problems than they cause ... I can't speak for them under NT or 2k however as I'm not too familiar with them in those circumstances. >But, I went into Bios and set the values to default, >reboot and it worked :):):) upgrade done. Probably tried to boot from the wrong place ... at least its worked now. When you did the flash, did you do the boot method or did you use the F12 method? >I decided to do the overlay with win98se, what overlay >should I use? the HD is a toshiba. I have Max Blast by Maxtor. I've not heard anything negative about EZ-Bios and it certainly seems in wider use than any other drive overlay (judging by the amount of support it has amongst other programs). Except, I *think* I heard somewhere that Max Blast is in fact EZ-Bios under a different name anyway ... can someone confirm or deny? >What I'm going have a problem with is the Hibernation?? >what do I do first overlay or hibernation? Umm ... like I said, hibernation is built into the BIOS. Taking account of hibernation whilst using an overlay and with multiple operating systems has been discussed many times before, a browse through the archives should turn up more than enough information to satisfy your desire for knowledge on this subject. Make sure you follow threads to their conclusions to make sure you're getting the whole picture. >BTW, were are you located, England??? Hehe you're WA off ...

BIOS Upgrade 100CT?
Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2001 10:21:05 - From: "George Waller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: BIOS Upgrade 100CT? I bought my 100CT about 3yrs ago and wondered if there would be an advantage in getting a BIOS update... I notice on Tosh BBS that there are following versions: 6.4,6.5 and ACPI BIOS 7.0,7.20,7.3 and 8.00 - my OS in Win95. I do not understand what the difference between the above versions is (ACPI??) and can someone advise how I install the update (e.g. I presume this does not require reinstall of windows but how will it effect other settings?)
