I remember someone > mentioning a software call "smart drive"?? can you access libby's HD using a PC and you libby? I tried one of these adapters with my 70CT without success.

Reinsert the HD into the Libretto, boot into DOS mode, and rename all of the current directories. (eg. c:\windows -> c:\winold) This way, you can go back to your old setup if needed. Once this has been done, start the XP setup in DOS and allow it to install into the usual directory C:\windows. You will find that this works on systems w/o CD-ROM drives or Floppy access -- all you need is to have the XP setup files on a primary bootable active partition on the HD you can jump into DOS to. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
