PCU 50 Win NT: Restore disk or ghost image

mrtans

Hello,

I have a PCU50 6FC5210-0DF20-0AA0 i believe it is a ver. 2 since it is the 566Mhz celeron with winNT 4.
The hard drive is completely blank and i don't have another to make a ghost image from.
I have spoke with siemens tech support and they said there is nothing they can do to help me.

After doing some research i have found this part # 6FC5247-0AF08-0AA1 which i believe is the hard drive for this system.
My questions are:
1 - Is this part what i need and does it come with all of the 4 required partitions and software installed for this unit.

2 - Does anyone have a ghost image of a pcu50 with WinNT4 that i can get so i can restore this unit.

3 - I believe that there is a XP version that is still available. Does anyone have a part number for that and or know if i can use it on this system.

Thank you,
David

Hello

After , You need to transfer ghost image, .....two possibilities:

1-- get Hard disk and Use adapter USB---IDE, use ghost for trasfer file


2 Use emergency boot disk for transfer ghost image on PCU50 via network.

I have seen a hard drive changed in a PCU50. The new hard drive must be installed in a caddy and the BIOS flashed so it thinks it is only 4Gb - or whatever size the hard drive is originally???? I cant remember correctly. It can then be assembled into the PCU50.

A standard hard drive from an IT supplier is minimum about 50Gb nowadays and the system will not allow this, thus the need for BIOS flashing.
