Neil,
I tried thata this morning and has no luck. I pulled out the drive and
turned on the 50 with out the pcmcia floppy. After a while it gave the
"Please insert disk.." message. I turned it off, inserted the new hd,
turned it on. Waited and waited, got the "Please insert disk..", turned it
off, put in the pcmcia floppy, turned it back on. I got the "Please insert
disk.." message, but could not access the floppy. Also, I noticed that
that "please insert.." message appears somewhere in the middle of the bios
init, because it doesn't even prompt me for the bios password.
This is really very weird, as the HD does indeed work.. could it be that
it's failing because I've formatted already on a different machine? Should
I low level it? How does the Libretto bios detect that it needs to create
the hibernation partition... :-)
Thanks!
Alex
