Advent Recovery disks - all the same?
My husbands Advent ME recovery floppy disk has become unusable ( reporting
first a track 1 fault then I/O ). Tried it in my pc and it doesnt recognise it as a floppy. I did a back up copy years ago but we cant find it. I also have an old Advent ME recovery floppy which came with my pc which now has XP on it. Is it likely that the 2 recovery discs are the same as the pc's were purchased within months of each other? If I try it, is it likely to just not work from the beginning or get half way through formatting before giving up? Just wondering if anyone has tried it? Failing that is there any other way to reset the partition back to factory settings without a working floppy? ) |

I am very impressed with their service ( and pleasantly surprised). Just 48 hrs from filling in the online form to receiving the disk. ) |
