By that, do you mean you've never tried partition
modifications with ez-drive + PM on the Libretto?
You're not saying you've had problems trying that, are
you?
Do you partition from DOS or Windows on your desktop?
And what software are you using to partition with?
So you must uninstall EZ-Drive when you resize on the
desktop, yes? I know you're an advocate of using
EZ-Drive, so you must have had it installed at some
point when you did partitioning modifications on a Lib
HDD.
I'm leaning towards the method of >always< removing
EZ-Drive and partitioning in a desktop, as the methods
I've been using in the past seem to lead to disaster
all too frequently.
I wonder if I've the only one who's had PM lock up
running on a Libretto with EZ-Drve installed, and
booted from a floppy.

I've had good results myself restoring OS images made
immediately after the OS is installed and tweaked.
But I'd like to get hold of a Win98SE image for my 70
that doesn't crash all the time. I used to have no
problems on my 70 with the older Win98 without SE.
Maybe SE runs better on the 100/110s, but it was a
nightmare on my 70, and I'm glad to move on to W2000
on a 110.

I'll check that. Thanks.
