Re[2]: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT
Date: Thu, 3 May 2001 11:52:08 +0800 From: Viboon Chaojirapant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT Hi, In general, I won't recommend _upgrading_ Windows. Things get messy and the system will become unstable (say hello to the Blue Screen of Death). The best way I know to cleanly install Windows on a notebook that has PCMCIA CD-ROM drive is this: 1. Copy the entire Windows disc (at least the directory with the .CAB files) into a secondary partition of your HD. Should be around a few hundred MB at most, so I think most modern HD should have enough space for that. If your HD only has 1 partition, use Partition Magic to re-partition it without destroying all the existing data. While you are at it, also backup essential things that you need from the C drive to the secondary partition (probably D drive). 2. Boot up your notebook with a floppy. 3. Format the C drive at the command prompt. 4. Go to your secondary drive's Windows directory (the one where you copied the Windows disc to) and run setup.exe. 5. A brand new copy of Windows will now be installed into the C drive. 6. Boot up your computer normally and install all the other drivers and then applications. Note: The PCMCIA CD-ROM should work without additional drivers, since Windows installs the PCMCIA driver by default. From experience, the above method works wonderfully and without much trouble. -Original message begins- From: Ken Hansen [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2001 9:29 PM To: Libretto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT Date: Wed, 2 May 2001 09:24:44 -0400 From: Ken Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Need to reinstall Windows to Libretto 100CT I recently tried to upgrade a Portege 3020ct to Win98, and it was a bear, only because I didn't have the right tools.

I was wondering if it would be able to handle Win2k Advanced Server. Anyone have experience with this? I would seriously not recommend it. Win2K Pro is acceptable only with 128MB of RAM and above, so Win2K AS would surely choke on 32MB. Not only is your Libby short of RAM, the CPU is dated as well. WinME would be a better choice, though barely. If you need "server" type of services, you should probably look into Linux. Linux with selective services and a minimal window manager (or GUI package) might just work with your Libby. Libby 50 was shipped with Win95. There is a HUGE difference in terms of resource demand between Win95 and Win2K. :) -- Cheers, Viboon ** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ ---UNSUBSCRIBE--- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST-- Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **
Re: Libretto in Singapore
Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 10:27:15 +0800 From: Viboon Chaojirapant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Libretto in Singapore Hi Michael, There are only 2 places that you need to visit. Both are already mentioned by Michael Berlant in another email: Funan Center and Sim Lim Square. Funan Center is more "up-class" in terms of ambience and product. Currently, most major brands have setup their retail center there. For example, you'll find shops by HP, Gateway, Acer, Epson, Canon. Apart from that, most shops are also authorized re-sellers of major brands like Toshiba, IBM, Palm, Handspring, Fujitsu, Compaq etc. Basically, if you want to buy branded desktop or notebook, you should visit Funan first. Sim Lim Square is very different from Funan nowadays. The pirated CD shops are all gone now. In their place are many, many shops selling computer parts and accessories. Basically, if you want to build your own PC, this is _the_ place to go. Generally, prices at Sim Lim Square will be lower than Funan. However, you may have to put up with bad service and the crowd (very crowded during weekends!). I am not sure what products you have in mind, but it is good to check out this website: http://www.hardwarezone.com/ It is a Singaporean website. There is a "pricelist" section which features a comprehensive list of prices for computer parts and notebooks at Sim Lim Square. The prices are actively updated. If you can't find what you want there, maybe you can ask me, since I go to Sim Lim pretty often. :) BTW, usually the prices include GST (3%) already, but if you are paying by credit card, do expect the shops to add additional 3% to the price. Hope this helps. From: Michael Heathcote [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2001 1:38 AM Dear list members, I am visiting Singapore next week for a few days, as a stop over on my way to Australia.

Re[2]: can't install CD in 70-CT
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 11:05:05 +0900 From: Viboon Chaojirapant [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: can't install CD in 70-CT Hi Ken, It is a shame that you have to sell away the L70 because the external CD-ROM drive can't work. I can't get my CD-ROM to work in DOS too when I just got my L70. In fact, because of that, I can't install Win98 clean. However, there is an alternative. Anyway, in case you want one to give it one last chance: 1. Get a DOS PC communication program. I used Norton Commander. I'm sure there are others out there that will enable you too connect 2 PCs via a serial or parallel cable in DOS. Try http://www.bootdisk.com/. 2. Get a serial or parallel communication cable. Connect L70 and a desktop with it. 3. Boot L70 from floppy and maybe format the hard disk? I partitioned my 6GB disk into C and D drives. 4. Copy the DOS PC communication program into a desktop PC that is linked with your L70 through the serial or parallel port. You also need a copy on your L70. I put it into D drive. 5. Activate the DOS PC communication program on both L70 and desktop. Make the desktop the master and L70 the slave. Make sure the 2 PCs see each other. 6. Put your Win98 or whatever CD into the desktop's CD drive. 7. Copy all files from the Win98 CD into a directory in the L70's D drive. This may take a few hours, depending on the stability of the communication program. Norton Commander was pretty stable. 8. Restart your L70, boot from floppy again. 9. Go to the local copy of Win98 and run setup.exe. Install into C drive. If you follow the above steps, you'll get a clean copy of Win98 in L70. With Win98, you will then have access to the CD-ROM, no problem at all for me. From then on, you can install anything you want through the CD drive, or anywhere. It took me 2 weeks just to get Win98 into L70, and it was an extremely frustrating experience. I had tried various methods to make the PCMCIA card CD-ROM work in DOS but fail. The Toshiba website isn't helpful at all. Finally, I figured the above mentioned method is worth a try and indeed it was. In fact, it took me a day to copy Win98SE into L70, and the next day I had Win98SE running already. Now I am happy with my L70 :).

Partition the 6GB drive into 3 partitions using fdisk: a. 3GB -- wanted to install Win98Lite here b. 2.9GB -- used this as temporary storage for now, Linux later c. 100MB -- this is for hibernation 2. As mentioned in an earlier email by Olaf, set the first partition active, so that it is bootable 3. Format 1st and 2nd partitions to FAT32. 4. I then copied installation files like Win98, drivers, programs etc. into my D drive through serial cable connection using Norton Commander. (For those who have good memory, in my earlier mails, I was asking for help to detect my PCMCIA CD-ROM in DOS so that I can do installation through CD-ROM. Well, it turned out that that method was simply TOO difficult, so this is the best alternative. But thanks everyone for your help :) 5. Installed Win98Lite from D drive into C drive. 6. Rebooted.
