Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 11:28:37 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [LIB] Toshiba 100GB HD review Windows 98SE has a default limitation of 137GB supporting ATA interface disc drives. Therefore, your boot drive partition will have a maximum size of 137GB.! Therefore, even with a drive overlay program, you'll only see 137GB of drives larger than that under Windows 98SE on the Librettos. You can't exceed this limit at all due to the OS constraints. (ie. move up to W2K,WXP instead) W2K would be the 'best' choice for a slow Libretto due to the limited RAM available, and preferably, only on the Libretto 100/110 or newer systems (the older ones have too little RAM and CPU speed IMO). On the flip side, the Libretto U100 is now selling for as low as $1500 new (www.shopper.com), so in a few more months, it may well be a great upgrade for older Libretto owners who want a little more power and features, but a small notebook. Those who don't care should look at the $850 Sony FS810 notebook on sale this week at BestBuy.com stores! An excellent DVD burning notebook cheap that'll do quite a lot w/o spending too much. (Yes, you can get faster models and spend $$$, but that's always the case.) Those wanting even cheaper can get the HP/Compaq on sale for about $500, but I'd avoid it due to the lower reliability of HP/Compaq laptops over the past several years in PC Mag and PC World rankings. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

Key to a stable system it to set a) OS first b) drivers c) updates and patches d) apps e) settings, then make a full drive backup. At this point, everything's running rock solid and will continue to do so for years. Most people install/uninstall over the years, which leads to instabilities in any OS. Best way? restore that drive image backup, install the new app, and you'll be running a solid, stable system from the start w/o any problems from numerous installations over time. adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?

There was a rumor 98SE could NOT boot drives greater than 32GB safetly however I remember there being a post of someone using a 60GB (me) drive without an overlay. I was mainly using the MSDOS that came with it for recovery and life was good, saw the whole drive, no data corruption, narey a probelm. I suspect the rumor AND following rumors of small (less than 1-2TB) drives not working MAY be caused by bad hardware in the Librettos NOT by the OSes themselves.

I use Novell for file sever at home and anyone here who uses it knows there have not been drive limitations for more than 10 years. I guess Novell has spoiled me, as all this crap I have had to deal with for years relative to various drive issues seems ridiculous. Novell is what I work with mostly. It has been able to deal with terabyte drive arrays since version 4.1X in about 1994. Mirrored, Striped, Duplexed, spanning as many drives as hardware would support and I have never had it choke. The file server at one location I maintain has 6 physical Data Drives with one volume. They are striped across three (for speed) and duplexed to the other three (for active redundancy). I realize the stability (of Novell) in this area of drives is because of File Server designs dealing with drive volumes spanning multiple drives of course... much different than what is expected of a PC, but Windows has always been behind real operating systems in my opinion. Cutesy Sells though doesn't it... When I get a larger than 137GB drive and the correct Windows Patches, I will see if I can get it working and report on how reliable it is in Win98. I have a 486/50 running Windows 3.11FW that can browse the net (in 256 colors), so this drive support should be easy! : ) Thanks to everyone for so much usable information on this subject.

I have seen complaints on this site about Libretto Hibernation issues, but I never have any problems with hibernation unless I change hardware around and try to wake it back up. Hardware needs to stay the same for Windows sake. Anyway, if anyone else is considering this drive or any large capacity drive, with the knowledge found on this site it can be done and done right! : ) Again thanks to everyone here that offers a hand when so many people come here for Libretto assistance. This is a really great site and I wish there were sites this dedicated for many other things besides these wonderful tiny computers. Thanks!
