    Installing the hard drive was easy enough, at the prompt hit f2 and made the cd rom bootable, started with the boot disk... when it asked for the recovery disk I fed it 1 (of 2), no sweat.

    It asked for recovery disk 2 (of 2), yup... but.... at 96% it asked for another recovery disk. There is NO DISK 3 of 2. So it comes to a crashing halt. How do I win this standoff. :eek:

    Thanks....
    I tried that as well as putting the 2nd disk back in and a desperate attempt made me put the boot disk back in... nothing seems to work.

    Is it normal to go from disk 2 back to disk 1?
