Well this is what happened. I formatted the hard drive on Monday night partioned it 8meg for windows 98 fat 32 then the rest for linux.. I then I copied all the files over to the lphd and plugged it into the libby. Booted using the floppy and started the instal.. Then I got the error =( well I slapped the hd back in the desktop so I can us pqmagic and well it came back unable to format the hd. I then removed all partions and then tried it again.. No go.. Well what I then did was did a fdisk and format and tried it and still no go.. Looked and found fdisk /mbr to write a new mbr file. then pulled the case put the dard drive in the desktop no other disks besides the orig and using the desktop to load mandrake on the thing. I am loading m70 as I could not find a working m71 iso.. Anyway after I do this I will put the orig hard drive back in the desktop and boot 98 and then copy the cd to the new partion I wil create and also load pqmagicboot.. I will also try to load qnx and beos Hey a guy can play cant he? Think I did get the mbr fixed though cause it was starting to take an install before I started watching a couple dvd's and havent moved the cable back over... Need to get me kvm switch ;-) -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Hanson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 12:52 AM To: Libretto Subject: RE: [LIB] ct50/70 X config file Date: Wed, 06 Feb 2002 06:47:41 +0000 From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] ct50/70 X config file >Date: Tue, 5 Feb 2002 20:43:37 -0600 >From: "phillip ramirez" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Dsl will take about 8 hours to down load disk one and 2 depending on >network load. I have done it many times haha last night I downloaded m7 >and it will mot copy from the cd to the disk to load directly from the >disk.. Were you able to begin the installation from the CD-ROM to the Lib via a Windows partition Phillip? Or did you create a Linux partition, and get drivers for your CD-ROM drive to be accessed from there? >Now I have a bad mbr haha will have to unlock it since fdisk wont and >pm7 wont mess with it and ranish wont run on my desktop.. Did the process of trying to load Mandrake screw things up? What happened? I'll bet PM7 CAN in fact fix the problem. I worked out a whole process with thier tech support via email when I lost a partition. You do a "pqmagic /partinfo", or something like that, create a partinfo file, and send it to them. They're wizards at getting things like this squared away. >Maybe ill >just put it in the new desktop and load linux on it.. Then load >win98se.. Win98SE AFTER you put the HDD back in the Lib I hope ;-P >Anyone have good luck with 98se on the 50ct with 16 meg??BTW wheres the >cheepest for the 32meg upgrade? There's always Ebay... here's three now: http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&; query=libretto+50ct+memory&ht=1&st=2&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&srchdesc=y &BasicSearch= There's also a bunch of 34MB cards for the 100/110 Libs now.
