I have a 3 year old Packard Bell Legend Supreme 1810, w/166 Pentium processor. My daughter is using it and I belive she has thrown out part of the CD-Rom driver. I think this because the CD-Rom still accesses if you run a previously installed program that needs the cd, but it will not access a cd directly. I wanted to reformat, but this system, using Windows 95, needs a floppy disk for boot and my disk has an error. Since it will not access the CD-Rom I can't even look in the restore cd to see if I could find the CD-Rom driver. I have tried to contact PackBell, but I guess they are defunct, there was no answer. Does anyone out there have any ideas for what to do to fix this? Does anyone out there happen to have the floppy I need, it's Master Restore Diskette V8.8 BPCS# 142919-08 so I could get a copy? Also, the original CD-Rom has been replaced. I don't know what the original was, but it ran off a Mitsumi driver. Sears replaced it with a Goldstar CD-Rom, I don't know the model. I did download the driver detective and will transfer it to the PackBell via zip drive to see if I can come up with more info. Thanks in advance for your help.

you wouldnt want to run the restore cd unless everything in the machine is original ie a different cd-rom. Have you tried safe mode(press f8 once per second on boot-choose safe mode from the menu).do you have the drivers that came with you're new cd rom.

I found this Packard Bell forum. Maybe you can find some help there. http://216.219.192.76/packardbell1/english_packard_bell_canada.htm
