Ugh. Picturebook needs new OS to become fileserver. Tried to re-install Win2K, made the mistake of converting disk to NTFS, forgetting that Picturebooks have problems with that. Picturebook will not boot from USB floppy, will not boot from firewire CD, will only boot from harddisk which loads firewire driver and then expects Win2K disk to finish installation, which will fail at the "Installing Devices" screen, which will then reboot and try again in endless loop.
This model can only boot from the special PCMCIA CD-Rom drive I do not posess. I am close to trying to find an OS I can put on a memory stick to see if it will boot from that. I may have to give this thing up as unrecoverable.
