Hi
I have an old Win98se HP computer which I am going to give to my
Grandson.
I want to do a clean install and have inserted the rescue floppy and
restore disc 1 as per the instructions. I then boot up the computer and
everything goes well until after the cd rom has started. A message
finally
appears "This computer does not have any valid information". The process
then stops.
Would appreciate any help.
Regards Bill


That should be Packard Bell and not HP



Is the rescue disk the same one that came with the computer?

You cannot use a restore disk from one computer on a different one than
original
