All, I bought my 100CT a long time ago, when it was being supplied with W95 on a stack of floppies. I have now obtained an 'official' Toshiba W98 install CD which I would like to use to put a totally standard libretto OS on the first 2GB of a 40GB hard disk (leaving the rest for a real OS). Problem is my documentation only tells me how to install from floppy, so I am not sure what Toshiba intended people do with the CD. Can anyone who has the manuals from a machine that came with the W98 CD mediase tell me what it says about OS re-install? Regardless of what it says, I am guessing that the easiest approach is going to be to boot off a floppy to do the partitioning, and them move the drive into a desktop machine to copy the cabs from the CD onto the hard disk. Or can I squeeze the necessary boot files onto a floppy to format the partition and copy the CD contents via a PCMCIA drive (which presumably would be easier to get going from a floppy boot than a PCMCIA SCSI card + CD-ROM drive)? There might also be some useful clues in the instructions about the procedure and sequence for adding in the Libretto specific drivers. Regards, DigbyT -- Digby R. S.
