If you're lucky then all that companion CD is is a copy of the win98 directory plus some drivers. If you're unlucky (and most likely given this is how Toshiba's later laptops had their companion CDs) the CD contains a hard disk drive image (similar to Norton Ghost images). As a result, the only way it'll get onto the libby is by booting off that CD which poses 2 problems, 1: your libby must have a CD-ROM drive and 2: you must find a way of booting from it (which doesn't actually exist!). Have a look on the CD on your desktop, it might have a readme file (I'm assuming the bods who put the CD together realize both these problems). Worst comes to the worst what you CAN do is either take your original hard drive and use a utility such as Norton Ghost or Powerquest DriveImage to copy th partitions onto the new ones after you've partitioned the new one in the libby (don't partition it in a desktop, it may not realize it needs to put the hibernation partition on there). Look up the archive for partitioning schemes ... Looks like I'll be doing the same thing as you once the supplier gets Fujitsu 20 gig drives in stock at the end of the week! - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
