content: Hi All,I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't had too much luck finding the answer browsing forum threads until now. I've got one of these scopes with the VP22 motherboard, the 1GHz PIII, and 384MB of RAM. It originally shipped with 98SE on the hard drive, which I have pulled and set aside for now for safekeeping. I know the original scopes shipped with 98 recovery media, and the newer ones had a recovery partition for XP. Is it possible to get the CD-based XP restore media for this scope, or an image of that recovery partition?Thanks!

content: Ok, so after more reading, I determined I do have the XP-media, which is a 4 CD set. However, I'm not sure what I'm looking for in terms of the "application CD" these instructions ask for (from 54832B_09A.doc):QuoteAnyone know?Thanks!
