Hi All,
I am new here and by the looks of it to pc´s aswell!
My problem is I have a PB laptop C3300 Spanish version with original Spanish xp AMD-M home installed when purchased.
I had English XP installed over or instead of the Spanish version (paid some spiv to do it).
Now I want to restore to the original Spanish system.
I have the 3 master boot discs (no floppy)
when I try to reboot with disc 1 after a while of installing stuff I get a red? screen which tells me
Invalid COMMAND.COM
Enter correct name of command interpreter (eg, C:\command.com)

Also on the screen if it helps;

Image Name : YAPIC04H.GHO
Part Name : WSA000AB.04
Destination : 1:1
WSE Path : Q: \PARTS \WSE0008AA.XX
Sourse drive : Q
Current folder :
volume in drive Q is RECOVERYMED
Directory of Q:\PARTS \WSE0008AB.04

File not found 0 bytes free.

Can anyone help or knows what to do or point me in the right direction please

P.S. On the screen it states windows 98? even with the xp boot disc in?
Regards
 
have started to do a reboot with the 3 home made master discs.
Disc 1 has loaded ok.
Disc 2 has stopped near the finish and states;
Device error code: 7696
DOS error code : 11
Read fault.

Disc 2 has been scratched on the top taken some of the silver coating off, possibly this is the cause.
Can I download a master disc from the PB website
.For free
.On to a pc that is not the one I am trying to boot
. or another site

:Or just some info would be helpful.

Cheers
 
is the spanish version completely gone? If it isn't then you could change the boot.ini to boot from that version of windows.

idk what the boot floppies are going to get you. maybe you could get the recovery console and try fixing the boot order or some thing like that.
