My L110 is *issing me off!
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 08:56:36 -0500 From: "Ken Hansen" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: My L110 is *issing me off! My L110 has decided to start freezing up at odd times, limiting it's usefulness to me... I am running the initial OS install of Win98, with no significant changes to OS. What seems to be happening is the sysyem will just stop, and the mouse will disappear. If I am on the network, all activity stops, and the display remains on, but frozen. A power-down is required, with a scandisk (since windows was not shut down properly), that sometime itself will freeze (or take so long to move to the next percent done that I power-cycle and restart, usually it will get into the 80s or 90s, then it will sit on one percentage point and I will wait 10 minutes or so, and seeing no disk activity or motion in percent done, will power cycle). Up until about two weeks ago this machine ran fine, able to stay up for hours at a time, does anyone have any ideas? It is possible I performed some recent MS update, but there doesn't seem to be a direct correlation between the two events, but I can not be 100% sure. Has anyone seen problems like this before? Any advice? Should I simply attempt an update from MS update service, and if that fails consider the OS to be questionable and re-install the OS? The commonality among all teh failures, now that I think about it, may be Outlook 2000 - I didn' t relize it until right now, but that is always running in the forground when the error occurs...

Re: The never ending story: Hibernation and the correct partitioning
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 10:02:46 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The never ending story: Hibernation and the correct partitioning If you have a new HD in the Libretto that is 8GB or smaller, then a fdisk followed by format should automatically put the hibernation partition at the very end of the HD w/o any user intervention. You only need to worry about creating the single primary partition - the space for the hibernation partition is automatically subtracted. I forget whether the L100 bios is capable of fully supporting larger sized HDs. Either way, the hibernation partition will either be automatically created at the end of 8GB, or at the end of the HD. You can test this easily by saving a big file crossing the 8GB limit, hibernate, and see if it becomes messed up. If so, then the hibernation is at 8GB, otherwise, at the end of the HD. d =) __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 10:12:23 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: My L110 is *issing me off! Start from the basics. Verify the HD is okay. In DOS, Run a virus checker to make sure there aren't any. Uuse Simmtester.com DocMemory to verify the RAM is okay. Run scandisk thorough overnight or over a couple hours to verify the HD is okay. The machine should not hang and should complete these w/o any problems. If not, you can stop there and figure out what to do. Otherwise, Windows is simply Windows.

Re: Libretto 30s'
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 10:20:10 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Libretto 30s' Best bets? www.ebay.com or if you've got someone in Japan, Akihabara areas and persuing the ads in the Japanese computer magazines. However, do note that the L50/70/100/110 series, although discontinued, do perform like the L30 in almost all respects, but usually better (ie. faster CPU, more RAM, etc.). The only thing I can think of that would prevent use of a newer model is that the programs you use require the exact same CPU used in the L30 (the newer Librettos use Pentiums). www.ebay.com has lots of used Librettos for sale. Some online stores, like http://www.universalcomputers.com/index_toshiba.html still have a few accessories, as does http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ directly. Again, all Libertto models as of this time have been discontinued, and thus far, Toshiba has not yet released a new model. www.ebay.com is your best bet for Liberttos in good condition (make sure the seller has a couple dozen positive feedback points). However, used Liberttos are also very cheap, going for under $1200 most of the time, and often $400-800 for the L50/70 series.

Re: The never ending story: Hibernation and the correct partitioning
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2000 13:57:07 -0800 (PST) From: David Chien [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: The never ending story: Hibernation and the correct partitioning Besides Ontrack's and IBM's disk manager program which will let any computer use 8GB HDs, there's this post earlier this year: Just installed the Tosh 12mb drive in my L100 on Monday. I'm running Win95 in my Libretto and Win98 in my desktop, which may or may not be relevant. After a few gyrations, I have a 12gb partition with 78mb free at the end and suspend/resume works perfectly, and faster than before. The successful procedure boiled down to this: In the L100, using the Toshiba Companion Diskette or a boot disk with fdisk and format, make a primary partition with fdisk to max size. Then format c: /s. I think this would also work in the desktop. After this, I had an 8gb partition. I then transferred the drive to my desktop computer, using a 3.5 to 2.5 adapter. With Partition Magic 4.0, I was able to enlarge the partition to 12gb, leaving 78mb free space at the end. I had previously backed up my 4 gig drive to a hard drive in the desktop, so, after a restore to the new drive, it was just a matter of re-inserting it to the Libretto and booting. Works fine. The 12gb drive is a sliding fit, whereas the smaller drives were a loose fit. One humorous thing, I actually used a boot disk from my desktop, so when the Lib was booting it said "Starting Windows 98." Restoring the io.sys file took care of that. Another strange item is that PM 4.0 on the Libretto only sees 8gb, while on the desktop it sees 12gb. My file manager and everything else I've checked sees 12gb, though = adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __ Do You Yahoo!?
