Nope, Copied the old stuff off, made a Win98 install disk from my other
machine, formatted the drive completely and turned it into a FAT32 one.
Copied the CABS across using a parallel ZIP drive.

I take it that Win98 has problems then?

I did used to get that with the Win95 install on. Now hibernate and suspend
do exactly the same thing!

It was a blank install, using all of the drivers that I downloaded from the
www.amherst.co.uk/libretto.htm site and toshiba's downlaod site as well.

Its a bodge anyway to get it to work with the Nokia phone, but I read that
its the Libretto's IRdA device whichdoesnt work too well with Win95, due to
Win95 not supporting the newer devices properly.

It was just the problem with the floppy drive that comes with the machine,
the other cards are working fine according to the machine, but the sound
effect is still happening.
