RE: HD upgrade 8mg limit
Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 09:58:24 +0100 From: Kapusta Gerhard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: HD upgrade 8mg limit Hi Richard! What I found out about installing HD's 8GB and hibernating: - Install the big disk - use DOS Fdisk to create partitions - use an operating system which does not use the BIOS for disk acccess to partition the rest of the HD. I used Win2k. Leave the amount of RAM + the amount of graphic memory free on the end of the existing partitions (should be near the 8G boarder) and create a new partition and fill it with data. - force hibernating by BIOS (may be done in DOS!) and check whether the partition above the 8G is destroyed. If the partition is destroyed, make the empty space a little bigger and test again. Note that partition boarders are only possible at Zylinder boarders. - Use a tool to look at the partitions, sectors, zylinders to understand the correspondence (g.g. DISKMAP from WinNT4 Res Kit or Partition Magic. Once You know, how to partition the disk, you dont have to do this time-comsuming method to find it out! But write down your results... For a Lib 110 with 64MB RAM and a IBM 20GB disk the hibernation partition starts at zylinder 1018, size is 9 zylinders. Within Win2k it is neccessary to allocate 71MB free space for hibernating. regards Gerhard ** 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... **

Mandrake 7.2 installed on the portion of the drive not seen by bios, however I am concerned that by using a combination of fdisk/partmagic/and the linux partition manager, I may not have left space for the hibernation, any ideas where the bios is likley to put it. I am assuming a portion of unused space = to or than the ammount of ram (in this case 32meg) at the end of the drive as seen by the bios? any ideas would be welcome. From previous correspondence on this (I haven't checked myself as I only have 6G) the last 32M+2M (for screen memory) is reserved at the end of the 8G slot - i.e. just before 8G. If the bios formatted it, it should be there. But if you used fdisk or diskdruid or whatever from linux, then as that area is not defined as a partition (it's just left empty) then you probably stomped on it. As your linux is fresh, I'd remove its partition, build a new dos partition 40M or so straight after the existing dos partition, and *then* do the linux install to the bit that's left. The reason I suggest using a partition is that it's visible to the partitioning software and you can see how big it is - but with linux fdisk and the others you can set the start cylinders if you can work out how big a cylinder is! (so if you want more partitions you don't *really* have to partition the hibernation chunk) Secondly a problem with the screen size and Linux, the desktop is fine and defaults to 640 x 480 however when opening the config manager in either gnome or KDE the screen is greater than the visable area, the window can be moved around however not sufficently to see lower portion of the window (the bit with the buttons on) I can find no way of resizing that particular screen window? Sounds like you've got a virtual window that's not big enough. I've used 800*600 on the virtual window and that seems to be fine for everything in Mandrake 6.1. You can change that by editing the file /etc/XF86Config and looking for 'virtual = ' bits - or using the horrible program xf86config and answering all the questions again - but say yes when it asks if you want virtual desktop. Neil 1. Use IBM's disk manager for free off www.storage.ibm.com 2. Use Partition Magic to create the partitions 3. Use Win2K, which bypasses what the BIOS says it sees and can partition it all. 4. Use Linux partition. d =) __ ** 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... ** _ Get more from the Web.

2X fubar libretto...twice the fun
Date: Wed, 06 Dec 2000 22:03:42 -0600 From: anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: 2X fubar libretto...twice the fun my lib50 has a serious problem. it locks up in win95. when i reboot, it hangs at the win95 logo screen. when running scandisk, it finds a problem with "free space" on drive C, sometimes on D. scandisk can fix the problem and i can reboot OK. but it doesn't take long to hang again...and then it's time for scandisk again. some of the symptoms are: - hangs immediately if i set the display for more than 640 x 480 x 256colors - netscape hangs immediately (and i get horizontal stripes of garbage) - runs OK in command prompt mode - sometimes the CMOS settings get screwed up i have reformatted the hard drive. reloaded all software. removed the 16MB memory upgrade. flashed the BIOS. tried magic dust and incantations. the problem persists. so i bought another 50CT with a bad LCD. spent part of two days swapping the LCD, hard drive, etc. formatted the hard drive. reloaded all software. the new 50CT works flawlessly. life was GOOD! today while printing a large powerpoint file, i realized the machine was running very slowly because i hadn't transferred my 16MB memory upgrade. i shut the machine down and installed the (Viking) memory card. rebooted the machine and it frozeexactly the way my old machine did. the problem persists after removing the memory card. so it seems i've toasted 2 librettos in the last two weeks. can anyone please tell me... * has anyone ever had a Viking 16MB upgrade card cause this problem? * any suggestions for how to fix these librettos? * do these symptoms sound like a motherboard memory problem? * is there any way i can tell win95 to exclude a range of memory addresses? * is there a way to determine what memory addresses should be excluded? ...other than trial-and-error i use the libretto for work, for home, for fun. it has my entire life organized. i really need to get a machine running. all suggestions are welcomed. --mda ps: anyone with a 50CT motherboard for sale? a 16MB upgrade? i'm buying... ** 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... **

Dear list members, My standard 50ct battery is a PA2497UR with the extended battery a PA2498UR. I have noticed that various suppliers list the standard 70ct battery as a PA2452UR. Will this fit a 50ct ? Until I noticed the different part number for the 70ct battery I was under the impression that batteries for the 50/60/70 where all the same ! I have an external hard drive case for my old 810 mb hard drive. This works very well and is a "Standard IDE/ESDI hard Disk Controller". Pure 'plug and play' with no extra drivers required. Is it possible to access this drive if I boot the libretto from the floppy drive with a start up disc, then swop the floppy for the external drive ? I guess what I am asking is where can I find the necessary DOS drivers for a "Standard IDE/ESDI hard Disk Controller". The reason I wish to try this, is to carry out a clean install of 98SE, with the 98SE CD copied onto the external drive. I do not have access to an external CD drive, only by direct cable connection to my work laptop CD drive.
