Hi Alan, Just a few days ago I upgraded the HD in my 110ct to a 120GB Seagate Momentus (5400.3).I run Windows 98se. Everything works fine, without any 3rd-party drive overlay.Here is how I did it, maybe this approach will solve the problems you are having: 1 - I put the new 120GB drive in an old 450MHz laptop, and used GParted* to create 1 small (for win98se) and two large (50GB each) partitions. Instead of a second laptop, you can also put the new HD in a desktop computer, using an 2,5 to 3,5 inch IDE adapter. 2 - Install the new HD in Libretto and boot from floppy (I made a Windows 98 bootdisk with CD-ROM drivers**). 3 - Run the Windows 98se setup from CD. That's it! Windows 98se does not have any problems 'seeing' my partitions, whatsoever. No overlays or funky 3rd party tools needed. *GParted: Linux-based bootable CD, contains the greatest partitioning tool ever. Download the ISO and burn it to a disc, boot it, off you go**Anyone interested in a win98 bootdisk with PCMCIA CD-ROM support (for the cd drive that came with the Libretto): Mail me and I will email you a .RAR file.
