The main point, which I now understand is: "Partitioning a HD inside the Libretto (with Libretto's BIOS ) automatically leaves the neccessary space free." A lot of misunderstanding coud be avoided, if this sentence would be printed in the Libretto's manual or if the Toshiba hotline would be able to explain this fact! I thougt, I'm an advanced user ;-)) and so I prepared my HD inside another computer - and then of course I always asked how to partition correct... Windows NT and 2000 does not use BIOS, but you can see with NT or 2000 the result of using FDISK: aprox. 71MB is left blank at the end of a HD < 8GB. For HD's > 8GB I simply leave this 71MB free and the continue with allocating partitions. The exact sizes can be read out with DISKMAP.EXE, which is a tool of the Windows NT Resource Kit (probably downloadable from Microsoft).
