However, just for the record, you don't need the boot disk if you just want to install things manually. The hardware is probably similar, possibly identical- I know Packard Bell loved their Cirrus Logic graphics and Voyetra Sound144AM sound cards. No idea if that makes it model-independent or the complete opposite.Īnyway, I can image it up if you'd like it. It seems to reconstruct it from the CD in a huge hierarchy of directories organized by letter, or something. I can supply mine, but my model is different, so it might not work- I'm not really sure how the re-imaging process works. If you're looking to re-image the system to factory state exactly, then yes you'll need the boot floppy as the actual restore application seems to be stored on there instead of the CD. Hey! I think I can help! I have a Legend 204CD that came with a floppy and Master CD. Would anyone be able to help me obtain an image of the floppy or otherwise tell me how to make one? Thanks! Unfortunately, the floppy has been lost in the ether, and I'm having trouble finding a copy online. However, the CD apparently needs a separate floppy to boot the computer and to tell it what order to install the programs. To my amazement, I saw that the CD had the installation files for Windows 3.11 and MS-DOS 6.22, among other Packard Bell specific programs. One of the hurdles I have is the 'Multi-Media Master CD' that came with the computer. I took the system from my parents' house a while back with an intention to restore the computer to its former glory. Eventually, we bought a new system, and this system collected dust in my parents' basement for a while. I tinkered with it a lot back in the day, eventually upgrading the OS to Windows 95 and installing lots of various programs that ultimately bogged the system down. It's the system that got me into computers and led me to my current career and hobby. My first computer was a Packard Bell Legend 12CD, which my family bought sometime in the early 90s. I have a bit of an odd itch, and I was hoping someone could help me. If there's a better one, please let me know. I'm not sure if this is the right subreddit to post this to.
