Hi I've been reading the postings and hopefully someone will be able Problem ======= I just turned on my Libby 100 to be confronted with the message "HDC error, Insert System Disk". I was able to boot from floppy, but FDISK does not recognise any fixed disks Swapped HD to another one, able to boot with floppy, formatted replacement HD. Rebooted a couple of times (set active partition & to set up parallel port for laplink) using the floppy disk. But now the replacement disk has the same error message So how dead is my Libby........ Questions ======== Is my Libby beyond repair?i.e. has anyone successfully resolved this issue? Can anyone recommend a company in the UK who can perform repairs? Can the Hard Disk controller (which I assume is the nature of the error) replaceable? Will this have damaged either of the HDs? Can I install the HD into a desktop PC to check them? - (if so can someone advise me on cables / voltage issues) Thanks for any advice posted AD P.S You really don't know what you've got until you lose it :-( ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
