Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Installing a new hard drive in L50 Libretters, I am going to be installing a new (empty) 6GB in my L50 tonight. I have Win95 on floppies and on a CD. I need help/advice regarding the best method to get Win95 onto that new drive. I would like to avoid using the floppies. Since I bought it used, I don't have any of the original CD(s) or floppy(ies) that would have come with my Libretto. Assets: I have an Adaptec PCMCIA SCSI card and an external SCSI CD-ROM drive. I also have an Enhanced Port Replicator. I have another laptop with a CD-ROM drive that may be part of my solution. I can get my hands on null modem adapters and serial cradles, if necessary. I don't know anything about enabling PCMCIA services in DOS (to gain access to my CD). Am I better off installing from floppies than trying to get my machine to recognize my CD-ROM drive via my PCMCIA SCSI card? Can anyone give me some data on this? How would you folks get Win95 installed, given the assets I have listed above? The floodgates are open to suggestions. Big TIA, -e. ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------UNSUBSCRIBE------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe --------UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST------ Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **************************************************************
