Emachine 1096 recovery with 1100 disks
I was able to use the restore disks for the 1100 (Original Emachine Ghost
Image) to restore a 1096 tonight... Was quite pleased and another system is almost off the work bench... This system was so clean, it looked like it was a new one just pulled from the shipping box... Not a scratch on the case... I wish there was a compatability spreadsheet for all of the gateway recovery disks... I was pleasently surprised this set of disks worked, and then using a SP2 CD it was ready for an anti-virus software package... (AVG this time Avast next time) JR the postman |

What is needed is knowledge of the motherboard model, motherboard chipset and CPU type for each eMachine model. I have had an Emachine Ghost image fail when used on the wrong model. Make some assumptions: AMD CPUs and supporting chipsets require a different restore than Intel ones. All Intel Socket 478 CPUs, both Celeron and P4, require the same support for the underlying chipsets. If the motherboard manufacturer and part identifier are identical between two eMachines models, odds are near 100% that the same restore will work for both. .... Ben Myers |
