Older versions of DOS don't support large hard drives well. Also, download the EZ-Drive from my site, then install that right away. It's the easiest way to make everything work from the start. If you don't do this, then it should be pretty easy. 1) Install HD 2) Boot from Win98SE diskette 3) fdisk, create a small <2GB primary active bootable partition. 4) reboot, run fdisk /mbr to make sure. 5) take out floppy, reboot, and you should be in. 6) at this point, you'll either need an OS that supports large HDs like window s2000/XP/Linux, or you'll need to a) run a drive manager like EZ-Drive or do one of the many tricks to get a large HD working posted in prior articles here. 7) I simply used EZ-Drive, then use Partition Magic or Ranish Partition Manager to resize the first partition up to the 8GB boundary, then create a 2nd data partition after the 8GB to the end of the HD. 8) Install Windows and off you go. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
