Jean,

Are you saying that before a TI clone can be Restored to a brand new
BLANK drive, the drive has to be formatted with an Operating System?

That would be hard for me to do, as HP did NOT include any CD/DVD with a
Operating System on it.

All they provided is a Partition that they ask you to make a set of
CD/DVD Restore disks from.

I did make a set of DVDs to hold their 8GB of restore partitions data.

If I had a hard drive crash that ruined both the C: and D: partitions,
Would I have to use that first before I could use the TI CD I made to
boot the box up to do a TI Restore?

Luckily I haven't had that ever happen to me, yet.

The HP box is a dream to open up, the 486 box would be a bear to open
up.

But if I had a drive crash, I would do it.

The only other problem about the 486 that I can think of is even with
the added on SIIG Controller card that is suppose to handle 8GB, I only
could get it to reconize 2GBs on the 8GB drive I tried putting in a long
time ago.

As of now, there is a 345MB and a 528MB drive in that box.

Finding a IDE hard drive that small at a store would be very difficult,
even finding any 2GB drives in a store would be difficult too.

A 250GB SATA drive I'd think would be the smallest any store around here
would carry.    ;-)
