Hi,

I have found a floppy disk in with some manuals. Could this be the recovery
disk?

There are 22 files on it, the first 6 a

ATTRIB.EXE
AUTOEXEC.BAT
CHKDSK.EXE
COMMAND.COM
CONFIG.SYS
COUNTRY.SYS

Thanks,

Craig.

Ah! - all bets are off....on three counts
1) Time went bust last year - and you have no chance of getting a
replacement CD from their new management
2) Time were not noted for good practices, even when they weren't running
from creditors
3) You got the PC second-hand - and that means that the previous owner may
have (wrongly) retained the OS disks in the mistaken belief that he/she
could install them on another PC with impunity.

I'll probably be out when you post back - but either someone else will
respond, or I'll respond on my return.

Hi Noel, All I know at this time is that it's a Time PC. I'm at work at
the
moment but I will provide you with further info later. Probably around
5.30
pm(BST)

I didn't buy it brand new but there was plenty of disks and manuals
provided
with it. I'll have a good look through them later.

Thanks,

Craig.

operating system)
What Make is the machine? model??

Hi,

As I prepare to receive my new machine and move to XP, I'm going to
sell
my
current PC running an OEM version of WinMe. It didn't come with a winME
disk
and I'm wondering is there a way to clean the PC and leave it as if ME
has
just been installed.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Craig.
