Toughboo Hades
Was gifted a toughbook.
Appears it was former corporate machine and had receive a very complete wipe.
A Toughbook made in that transition era- sold with XP yet internally has SATA drives.
Spent a day ( more really) finding hints online and slipstreaming (no floppy)various SATA drivers into XP install CD. Still nothing but BSODS.
Something-buntu of course install flawlessly, so no apparent hardware issues.
Try my weiner7 disk - sorry I only see 32 bit hardware.
Get a 32 bit OS disk - nope can't recognize your weird (from above buntu ) formatting.
Could I get any of the USB formatting utils to work? -Nahhh.
Pull out the drive and disassemble to access SATA, stuff
into a desktop and reformat.
Finally Weiner7 installs, performanceind ex=2.
Well, closer to 4 with Aero turned off.
Expect this will be good enough for Powerlogger, but that can wait for tomorrow...
