How-to replace the U100 harddisk?
Posted by Bob on May 24, 2008
From the moment I got myself the Libretto U100 I wondered how to replace the slow harddisk. Within the first week I opened the Libretto as far as possible and I had a short look inside the little machine. The harddisk was nowhere to be found, although I knew it had to be somewhere at the bottom.
After a day or to on Google, I found myself the original replacement manual! In that manual there are step-by-step instructions how to disassemble my Libretto u100 completely and finally (that chapter is located almost at the end of the instructions) locate the harddisk and remove it!
As soon as I have the time and guts, I’ll start to replace my standard 60GB HDD for a (faster and) bigger 120 GB 7200 rpm harddisk. I certainly hope the U100 motherbord will support the bigger drive!

In my neverending search for usefull links and other info about installing a Linux distro or other OS on your Libretto I found these 2 interesting links:
FreeBSD 4.10 & Xfree86 4.3.0 on Toshiba Libretto
Linux on the Toshiba Libretto 70
Both websites are very usefull for People like me: interested in installing exotic operating systems om exoctic hardware, but do not have the knowlegde to figure it out all by yourself.
On both pages you’ll find all the information you need about installing Red Hat Linux and FreeBSD on your own LIbretto 40 or 70.
