I made sure to use the Libby's drive as the primary master, and the only other drive connected to the desktop at that time was a CD-ROM for reading the data. Does that computer recognise the disk beyond 1024 cylinders? I've had complications where I do some partitioning in the libby and some in a desktop, in my case I ended up with what looked like 2 'versions' of the partition table where some partitions were accessible in both cases but both slowly got corrupted. I ended up putting EZ-Bios onto the drive and making sure whenever I did anything to do with the partitions I'd boot off that drive (if I was just copying files to it I found I could get away with booting to the desktop's own Win2k install and writing to the disk as long as I didn't touch the partition table). Finally, I just bit the bullet and ran the install from the hard drive. 4 hours later, I had mismapped drives, so it's back to square one, but at least there's a plan. What do you mean by mismapped drives? If you're referring to boot.ini, just boot using a boot floppy (format a floppy disk in Win2k (which automatically does the NT equivalent of sys'ing it) then copy the boot files across) with a correct boot.ini (bypassing the equivalent on the hard drive). However, and this is fairly odd, when I boot up using the only available boot floppy (The Toshiba Companion Diskette!) I can see all the partitions of the 12 GB drive perfectly. Careful ... I've had a few cases (I can't remember how but it seemed pretty inconsistent) where it looked like I could see everything from my libby WITHOUT any overlay but then I found that if I tried to manipulate the partitions I ended up getting weird results (such as having partitions reporting larger than the drive itself!). I'm in Win98's DOS at this point, but fdisk seems to see them all, each partition is actually accesible, and I can read and write from anywhere on the disk. Hmm ... perhaps the Toshiba companion diskette has something we don't know about? What happens when you boot off a plain vanilla Win98 boot disk? Seeing as OnTrack was wiped from the drive and I'm bypassing it anyway with this method, what exactly does this mean for BIOS version 8.00? *shrug* I've not used OnTrack ... I know I'll provoke another flamewar by saying this but I still recommend that even though Win2k can see past 1024 cylinders unaided that you use something like EZ-Bios (look in the archives for a link) ... you never know when you may need to get into your partitions with a boot disk. I also recommend NOT using NTFS unless you REALLY need it for security for the same reason ... especially given that getting into the recovery console on the libby is likely to be a complete pain in the rear (and then especially if the MBR is dead). Regarding your initial 'INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE' ERROR, I got that when I tried installing WinNT onto my L50, I didn't try any further because I managed to get Win95 stable anyway ... if you do manage to get this thing working I might try putting 2k on my L100 as well ... hehe - Raymond --- /~\ | | Does fuzzy logic tickle?| | ___ | My HDD has no reverse.

Re: [LIB] Li-Ion cell testing?
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2002 07:51:01 -0400 From: Pres Waterman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Li-Ion cell testing? I know the easy way to get this working is to go ahead and buy new Li-Ion cells. However, it strikes me as odd that I've got two High Capacity 110 batteries, and a Standard, and they're all dead. Am I wrong in assuming that I can get 4 or 6 good, working cells out of the 16 that are floating about these three packs? If they're dead, pull them apart and check them If it's possible, does anyone have an idea as to how I would test the individual cell? I can get a multimeter pretty easily, but unless I know what to look for, it's somewhat pointless.

Re: [LIB] Screen cleaning and AR films
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2002 22:03:35 -0700 (PDT) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Screen cleaning and AR films Here's what I do to clean spotty LCD screens. 1) Rubbing alcohol and lint-free tissue. Wipe and go. Forget about the streaks for now; just concentrate on getting the spots off. Should take off just about everything. 2) Now, second pass. Not as damp with alcohol, but just partially. Wipe in circles and passes to get rid of as many streaks as possible. Circular pattern helps eliminate leaving more. 3) Quickly follow up with the 3M Scotchbrite High Performance Cleaning Cloth available at KMart and elsewhere (in the kitchen supplies section of Kmart) or a microfibre lens cleaning cloth (sunglasses, eyeglasses stores). You'll have to make numerous passes to gently, gently eliminate the streaks, but they'll go with time. wipe with a barely alcohol or wet cloth if needed just before making another pass to get off stubborn streaks. 4) oNCE THE streaks are gone, you're at the stage where you're trying to get the LCD 100% dust and mark free. Should be decently easy if you have a clean cleaning cloth in hand, and for me, didn't take that long at all. At this point, anything that does land on it between this and applying the film can almost always be blown off, or simply brushed off if you simply gently brush the cloth over the LCD panel to sweep the dust off. 5) Naturally, Once you're ready to apply the film, it should go quickly before more dust lands. You'll want to brush clean both protective films on the main film itself to get rid of dust that can fall onto the LCD panel during positioning. You can try out various positions first just by laying the film on the panel unpeeled, then when you've got the right position in mind, peel off a short edge of the protective film on the stick side, and position that end on the LCD panel. Pull about 1-2 off and press the AR film on the panel to keep it in place. Pull more protective film off the sticky side and keep going, pressing down on the AR film as you go to keep it in place and MOST IMPORTANTLY to keep the air bubbles out. Press from center out to get those air bubbles out. Read my prior most on specifics of this. Once it's all in place, rub down everywhere with at least two protective sheets of plastic between your fingernail back and the main AR film to prevent scratches on it, and after a lot of this, it'll look decent. d =) = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: [LIB] IDE to PC Card adapter
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2002 22:07:59 -0700 (PDT) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] IDE to PC Card adapter http://www.magicram.com/ataadapter.htm First thing I'd ask them is to check that the 2.5 IDE/flash adapter is actually 9.5mm tall or less. Otherwise, it won't fit, which is the sad case for all of the other IDE to CF adapters I've searched for before. Some talk on this last year on the Libretto Mailing List archives. Anyways, the only workable solution thus far given the lack of =9.5mm adapaters are the SanDisk 2.5 IDE FlashDrives. You can buy up to 2GB models today at www.buy.com and they will work just like regular IDE HDs in the Librettos. = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
