Subject: RE: 3.27G HDD on L50CT Problem ! help!
Hi Alex,
I've had the EXACT same problem! My drive is a DYKA-23240 (3.24MB) and I
eventually found out that it is NOT possible to use this drive in a
Libretto! One of the few drives that is incompatible.... :(
I had a number of experts around the world try and sort it for me but they
all came to same conclusion.
In a way, I'm satisfied now that the advice to me at the time is
confirmed....
I'm sorry for you though. My 3.24GB drive is still on the shelf here.....
Cheers,
Joe
