Not quite sure about the pre-assembled, advertised models. The reason I ask was that over in pressf1 there was a thread now locked, that had a picture of a PB tech restore disc. I was under the understanding that restore disc's are not a stand alone copy of the OS. |

I was under the understanding that restore disc's are not a stand alone copy of the OS. Normally restore cd's (usually more than ONE CD, unless its a DL DVD) would include the OS , and the drivers etc, so it'd save you from downloading them once you've restored a system. But it'll only WORK if that was the system it was made for. Otherwise, like Wardog found out, he couldnt get the sound to work, because that cd wasnt for his system, and it had nothing on it, for his computer. |

The optician showed him a card with the letters: 'C Z W I X N O S T A C Z . ' "Can you read this?" the optician asked . "Read it?" the Polish guy replied, "I know the guy . " |
