I just bought this Libretto, its hard drive is cooked, and I have an IBM 20GN to replace it. This is a 10GB drive, and I understand that the Libretto's BIOS only sees about 8GB, and writes its suspend-mode info into an area at about 7.8 GB. I've read that IBM's drive set-up software will get around the 8GB limit. Assuming this is true, how should I go about partitioning this 10GB to accommodate the hidden area required by the Libretto, so that my data is not overwritten? While I'm asking, what is the preferred method for installing (OEM) Win95? I have a PCMCIA CDROM but not one of the 3 (?) supported by the Libretto's BIOS. Is LapLink or something similar the way to go? Also, all the machines I have access to run Win98, so I'm having trouble locating Win95/DOS commands for a boot disk. One more - since you're discussing maps - has anyone seen a good map of Europe on CD? Vacation-of-a-lifetime coming up, and the Libretto (if I get it running) will be going along. Maps on the hard drive would be handy. Thanks.
