Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 19:46:04 -0500 From: Jim Hanak [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] How to install to Lib 110ct with a bare HD? Rick, My W2K CD is a stock original. I dl'd w2k sp2 from ms, and unpacked it to a dir that I then burned to a cd. No change in the results. I tried copying my nt5inf.cat from my desktop to a floppy and a cd, tried both when the setup routine asked for it with no luck. So I did the obvious(non-obvious?) thing and just started from scratch, re-formatting and installing using the bootdisk method. Guess what? Complete success!!! I'm sufing the net wirelessly and writing this in Outlook on the 110ct!! C'est la vie! Thanks for all your help and handholding folks, especially Rick. Cheers, Jim !

Sounds like your Win2k install CD had SP2 incompletely slipstreamed. Is it a stock CD, or one built from a downloaded image? If you use a multiboot image, for instance, you must put the files in the root/i386 directory and make a new CD. One thing you could try, obviously, is downloading SP2 and unpacking it to a CD. But I probably didn't need to tell you that :)

Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 12:47:35 -0400 From: Christopher Kalos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] How to install to Lib 110ct with a bare HD? Okay, here's what I vaguely remember about this, and it's way easier when you have the right tools. 1) Ditch the CD-ROM as far as the installer's concerned. That's merely a method by which you can get the Win2K installer on the hard drive. 2) Using a partition editor, such as FIPS, you should be able to cut the drive into two partitions.I went with a 3g/1g split. 3) Get any other OS going on this system, as long as it can use that CD-ROM drive, even 98 from floppies, if you're brave. 4) Copy the entire Win2K CD to the 1gig partition. 5) Create (or obtain) a Win2K install floppy. This will boot and ask you for an installer location. Point it to the D: drive, format C: as FAT and install to it, and you should be good to go. One caveat: you MUST format C: as FAT, no matter how badly you want NTFS. Once you finish this up, you can clear our the D: drive of the install image, delete that partition, and extend a FAT partition with far less trouble than extending an NTFS partition. End result? Win 2000 using up one 4.3 GB FAT partition, ready for you to convert to NTFS. (Of course, NTFS is far more annoying to recover data from if the drive ever dies, so be careful.) You still get your pristine install, and no one will ever be the wiser. Fair warning, though, it takes an ungodly amount of fat trimming to make Win2K run comfortably on the Libretto, even with the RAM upgrade.

An older Argosy CD-ROM player was recognized and installed immediately w/o driver disks etc. I got two Freecom CD-ROM/RW devices here (one PCMCIA, one Cardbus) and the Freecom brand happens to be one of the exceptions. But... the original Lib110 restore stuff I have utilized a floppy with -guess what- a DOS driver for a Freecom CD-player (FCPOINT.SYS) (a so-called point enabler - no card services or whatever needed). BTW for taming down Win2K a little have a look at www.vorck.com/remove-ie.html and http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/disabledllcache.htm http://www.beemerworld.com/tips/servicesxp.htm (OK, for XP but translation to W2K is easily done) http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/07/running-windows-with-no-services.html (ditto) One of the Win2Ks on my Lib110 (per Vorck's dec '04 .inf-file set) has a mere 76 MB memory footprint, incl. 15 MB for ZoneAlarm AVG antivirus. Just after installation it used to be something like 45 MB Booting up fully (i.e., HD stops rattling) takes just 1 min 30 sec, shutdown about 15 seconds. P.

Using boot floppy disk (DOS, Linux, etc), fdisk format the HD. For most OSs, make it primary, bootable, active for the partition you want the OS to be installed into. 2. Transfer OS to the HD any way possible - Ethernet card, serial/parallel laplinki/dcc compatible cable from a desktop, copied over many floppy disks, dos cd-rom drivers from a cd-rom drive, etc. 3. run the OS setup program to install the OS, then copy/download the Toshiba drivers. Simple as that. Otherwise, faster method to get an OS to the HD is to fdisk and format the HD, pull the HD, attach to 2.5 to 3.5 IDE converter ($10 or so), attach to desktop PC, copy the OS to the HD, reinstall HD into the Libretto, run OS setup program. You can also do a floppy disk remote install of Linux if installing that over ethernet. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

If it is greater than 8 gigs you will have to make a special partition for the hibernate area. Search the archives as I posted very detailed info on how to do this last year.
