Hello DanV... I agree you do not need a drive overlay to run hard drives exceeding 8.4GB, but I can assure you the first time the Libretto hibernates (which can be due to low battery, overheating, or user/operating system request) it will corrupt data on the drive around the 8.4 GB mark. There is a ton of information about the reasons for this in this message archive. I have had drives greater than 8.4 gig in my Libretto(s) for more than 10 years and trust me, there is no work around for this other than the ones provided on this site. I will explain further if you wish.

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 dri ve that came with the Libretto): Mail me and I will email you a .RAR file.
