That is understandable I guess, since the disks don't work on another brand or even model. The biggest problem I see with not having the rescue disks is the drivers. They come on the rescue disks but sometimes it is a point trying to get the right ones if you don't have the disks. I have a VIA machine and the CD-Rom drive ate the mother board disk. I downloaded drivers but they are not an exact match, especially the video drivers. > As it turns out my friend had one - 2000 - and it worked, so we're > in good shape now.
