restore problems and ?'s
Since i was finally able to retire my old PB i thought it was time to
put it back to good uses from it's time. The drive was backed up and the case opened. I removed all the cards and removed the powerleap so it could be used in another pc. A pentium 166 with mmx was installed and the jumpers were set. The origional hard drive was in storage and after installing it i realized i had a problem. The origional restore disks were long gone but i still had the restore disks for a different pb which i successfully used on this pc. The drive that contained the format number has since died but i still have it on a piece of paper. Now, when i tried the restore and recovery disk i found out it was dead so i used a win 98 boot disk and using it's cd support ran the recovery cd that way. last time i ran the software on this pc i did not yet have the mr. bios update however now i do have it, all the system information that you could see in the system credintals program can not be found and some books did not appear in the bookshelf after the restore was finished. Is this information stored on the bios? finally, i do have the disk numbers for the computer i am restoring: -Dead floppy -Packard bell restore and recovery disk ver. 2.1W, BPCS#146734 I also have the numbers for the disks that origionally shipped with the pc: -Restore Diskette: 142650-03 -Master restore cd: 170904 -Navigator CD: 170894-02 now, i really don't want to pay a fortune for new disks but if anyone has these disks or is willing to send me a copy for a good price it would really help. Thanks. |
