Well you can try and fumble through the install on the libby (do the install as you did the 70CT with floppies) or you can get yourself a $7 2.5" to 3.5" hdd converter from your local computer or electronics (thats electronic components) store and do the install on a desktop. After much fumbling I decided the latter was a LOT more convenient ;-) 2 things to remember if you use a desktop to install the hdd first, 1: If your hard drive is more than 8.4 gig, make DAMN SURE you put EZ-Bios (or similar) on and ALWAYS boot off the hard drive from that point onwards (then press Ctrl to hand control off to the FDD or CD-ROM drive if necessary ... it says press A to boot from floppy but it tries the ATAPI CD first if you've got one) 2: Don't bother INSTALLING any device drivers at this stage BUT 3: Copy ALL your drivers for the Libby onto the hard drive at this stage including that for the CD-ROM drive (especially if you've backed up the drivers for the CD-ROM drive on an ... umm ... CD? ;-) Then when you put the HDD back into the libby you'll have all the stuff you need! Just let Plug and Play do its work, go into device manager to kill the devices that didn't die and off you go! Hope this helps ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
