Hi Nick,
>Do I go for my forth nervous breakdown, or just resign myself
to the fact that NT won't recognise the disk? ;-)
I'm coming into this discussion a bit late, so if I cnver
ground that has already been ealt with please ignore me.. If I
missunderstand the problem also please ignore me ;-)
You are hitting the 8GB BIOS limit on the libretto.
I have a 20GB Hitachi disk running in my 70CT that I formated
into an 8GB and an 12 GB partition by doing this:
1. fdisk and format new disk in Libby to maximum partition size
e.g. 8ish GB -
If you want a 2 GB start partition include that in the
first 8 GB within the Libby and then creat another 6 GB
partition within the Libby too - that will take care of the
hibernation area on the libby.
2. Take the disk and install it into your 'unportable'. (This
assumes that this machine does not have the same BIOS
limitation!)
3. Do as before: copy rudimentary DOS and sys files to the
disk, preload NT software and Libby drivers.
4. Within the 'unportable' install NT from the new disk. You
should now be able to fdisk/format the remainder of the disk (8
- 20 GB)
5. Move the disk back to the Libby and check you have access to
all drives.
6. Install all other software
Hope this works
