Fdisk, format, and even use the free IBM Disk Manager program to create the
partition in the Libretto, and clone the image to that. The Libretto needs to
make the partition first, then you can copy things into it. If a desktop does
it for a HD larger than 10GB, it usually won't work back in the Libretto -
most likely due to different disk geometries being seen by both computers due
to much older BIOS in Libretto 50 that doesn't recognize HDs larger than 10GB
w/o extra help from software.
