You should be able to insert the FDD card, and boot your system from a boot FD. Depending on the size of the files you want to copy, using 1 or more FDs will get data to your HDD.
If the files are too big to hassle with a FDD, you still have 2 options:
1. Pull the HDD, and connect it to a desktop PC via a PCMCIA to IDE adapter as a 2nd or 3rd drive (you can get them cheaper than here: http://www.myxtech.com/p/1857.html).
2. Use a nuil modem (bi-driectional) parallel or serial cable to connect your Libby to another system, and use LapLink or clone (I use the free "Download Mage") to transfer files.

The problem I have now is how to transfer these files to my Libretto since I cannot use my FDD, CD-ROM or Ethernet card? Is there a way to use my start-up disk to copy these over in DOS and then restart windows and install?
cheers christopher

IIRC, W98 detects and installs (16-bit) PCMCIA drivers during installation -
did that not happen when you ran Setup?
You need to download and install all the L100 W95 and W98 drivers from the
Toshiba web site, including the video driver (will fix your display problem),
W98 floppy driver, and the W95 utilities package. It is important that you
install the L100 W95 utilities FIRST, then install the W98 Power Saver driver.
Otherwise hibernation (and Standby?) will not work properly.
Note that several of the L100 drivers will be accompanied, once unzipped, by
a readme file which explains proper installation.
Once you get the 16-bit PCMCIA drivers and all the other various drivers
installed and working, access the BIOS and set the PCMCIA controller to Cardbus or
Autoselect (be SURE you have the W98 .cab files on your hard drive before
doing this). Windows will re-detect your PCMCIA slots and look for ToPIC95 and
ToPIC97; point the hardware installer to your W98 .cab files directory to
complete the installation. The install will run twice, once for each PCMCIA slot.
If you have the enhanced port replicator, you may have to set those extra
PCMCIA slots up for 32-bit access as well.
Hope this helps.
