Of course, it's all whole lot easier if one 1) reinstall everything from scratch. 2) Ghost everything to CD-R disc, then restore in DOS on Libretto from CD-R. For me, it was easiest to create a bootable 250MB fat16 partition on the new HD with just fdisk and nothing else installed. Then, copy all tools (Partition Magic, Ghost, etc.) and Windows setup files (Win98SE for me) to that partition. Next, install EZ-BIOS from floppy - it'll be happy with whatever's already on the HD and won't ask you to do anything else. Use the Advanced Option under EZ-Drive's setup to install just EZ-BIOS. That way it wont' go off and try to install anything else. Finally, using Parttiion Magic, dupe the only partition you have and make it bootalbe, hiding the rest, then resize it to desired final size <8.4GB to avoid the hibernation space. Reboot and run the Windows setup.exe to get that installed, and off you go. -- naturally, once you've got Ghost images on CD-R, it's a boring matter of restoring from them anytime you want the HD back to perfectly fresh install once again. ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
