Does the Libretto recognize the full 20 gigs without any overlays or
advanced operating system? I understand the Toshiba drives do. If not, maybe
this will help. I just installed an IBM Travelstar 12 gig in my Libretto 100
and here are the steps I used.
1. Installed it and partioned it using dos 6.22, set up three partions and
only used 7.5 gigs.
2. I installed my pcmcia cd drive and copied the Windows 98se cab files in
the second partion.
3. From that partion I did a clean installed of Windows 98se, using my
Windows 3.1 floppies when asked for the location of Windows for the upgrade.
4. I then installed Partion Magic and made the boot disks.
5. I then repartioned, in dos, the full 12 gigs using the Partion Magic
floppies.
Everything seems to be working fine. I assume this procedure should work on
a 20 gig drive.

Hi all,
Yep, the "groovy grandma" has returned with
my third Libby :-) Just couldn't stand it any
longer. Hope this is my last one.
Got a 20gb drive for it; and would like to know...
now what do I do with it??? :-)
Want to partition it... doesn't matter how many...
to run W98SE and RedHat on it...
So I need to know exactly where to put the space
for the hibernation.
Will the hibernation work within a logical drive
created for it??
Does this partition need to be left unformatted??
Will the hibernation work now with W98se??
I've read in the archives of the experiment done
with a 20gb drive by our resident guru... but don't
exactly understand how to figure out using dos fdisk
where to put that space... and yes, I'd like to put
it inside the dos extended drive portion of the disk.
Red Hat can run at the end of the drive, hopefully.
One more question... what is the latest version of
Red Hat that will run on the Libby 100??
Glad to be back and see you all again :-)
Karen
