[LIB] BIOS 8GB Limit - Fix?

I am interested in trying it, though! Lee Nevermind. Should've searched the archives first. David posted about this back in 2002. Still interesting, though. Anyone tried it? Sure, as I reported earlier to David Chien, I perceive this to be the ultimate fix. IMO Libretto 100/110 owners should all be grateful to Wilm Bockey who has really sorted the nitty gritty out in great detail. However Recently I found that LDS100CT v. alpha2 crashed on HDs 32 GB. Just a few days ago Wilm Bockey sent me an updated version (alpha 4). This version still cannot access beyond 32 GB, but will not crash. He said he would put it up soon (v. alpha4 that is). So, for HDs 8 GB you can safely use LDS100CT alpha4, be it that you get at most 32 GB. Not wanting to be zealous, I'll repeat here again my opinion on problems with HD's 8 GB in the Libretto 100/110: The problems are twofold: 1. The hibernation area (usually) at cylinders 1017-1026. Solution: just avoid this area. Most easily done by first making a preliminary partition scheme with Win9x/DOS FDISK using the maximum disk size. The hibernation area will be immediately beyond it, invisible to FDISK. Just leave it at this, and go tackle problem 2: 2. Windows 95/98/98SE/ME DOS FDISK, these are fooled by the BIOS about the HD size. Mind you, this Win9x/DOS FDISK version is the _ONLY_ affected FDISK version! So to make Win98 now able to see your entire 8 GB HD, *just avoid* Win9x/DOS FDISK and use some other partitioning tool! (sorry for shouting.) Take good notice of where the preliminary partition scheme of step 1 ended - add at least 71 MB (= hibernation area) and make new partitions beyond that. Once the proper entries are in the MBR and the logical partition chain, Win9x will take that to be the Truth and it will happily access FAT/FAT32 partitions beyond 8 GB. Remains the problem of _how_ to get the proper entries in the MBR. Well that's easy, just use Partition Magic or Linux fdisk or OS/2's FDISK or Win2K disk manager or whatever. I'd consider EZ-drive + Win9x FDISK an absolute last resort. You do not need any disk manager at all. Indeed, using EZ-drive and on top of that Partition Magic as I've read on this list is quite a bit overdone, but yes, it will work.

Looks like a DOS program (from the description) that calculates the correct BIOS values for the HD and stores them in memory (not permenantly of course; at least from the fast skimming of the text). Sufficient information for someone with a knowhow of BIOS disassembly and BIOS programming to fix the problem, and anyone with sufficient computer programming skills and hardware know-how (even me) could sit down with this and figure everything out in a few weeks/months to do this. (Of course, someone who knows everything could reprogram the BIOS faster...) Of course, the only tricky part is no matter how careful you are, if you don't have the actual specs on what every byte of the BIOS layout is supposed to do or why it is there, you could wind up with a dead Libretto = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do you Yahoo!?
