topic LD Pro in Netservers

LD Pro

It took me quite some time to get to this point, i.e. posting this message. Can some one advise me whether my LD Pro can be used as a normal computer?

I bought a NetServer LD Pro back in the mid 90s for my office. It serves us well. Now I would like to turn it into a normal computer for my 5 year old son to play his educational VCDs or DVDs. I used DOS to reformat the hard disk and try to install Win98 but I am having problems after completing the reformat. Any idea how to fix it?

Appreciate some tips on how to fix it.

HP did not test Win '98 on the Netservers, but hopefully other customers can help you with this. I can point you to the available documentation & software for this LD Pro.

Are you familiar with accessing the BIOS setup? This is done with a software program called the "ECU". Create the bootable ECU diskette from the above web page.

Thank you Terri. I appreciate your assistance and completed the download.

I still have a problem, i.e. after downloading and installing the required system on my computer. The problem is exists.

Will figure out what when wrong and make the change.
