hiho, i recently decided to equip my 100ct with a 20gb harddrive from toshiba (MK-2018GAS), but after many hours of experimentation and reading through mailing list archives, i'm unable to successfully boot from it. having no pcmcia floppy or cdrom, i installed a dual boot system (rh linux/windows xp) via my desktop system. putting it back in my 100ct brings up the bootloader (grub or lilo), but then fails to boot up the os successfully. booting linux just triggers a soft/reset, while windows xp is more explicit in complaining that there might have been a change in the c/h/s settings (which is true). i tried different partition layouts, boot parameters and upgraded my 100ct bios to the most recent one, but nothing helped. do i need to install from floppy or cdrom directly, or is there a way i can setup this system from my desktop and then plug it into my 100ct? cheers, firenza ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------TO UNSUBSCRIBE------- Reply to any of the list messages.
