original startup disks for 5300cs
I'm needing to find the original set of emergency startup floppy disks for the powerbook 5300, including the system disks if there is such a creature. There's a virus on this powerbook I've bought so my plans of copying everything over to the new hard drive is quickly going by the wayside. Virex says many of the system components are infected. I'd also like the clean install of the missing software that comes with the Global Village modem card, that doesn't seem to be anywhere on their website. So far I've been unable to get the computer to recognise an external CD drive so I suspect I'm missing some extensions. A clean re-install of software seems to be the better choice. Any clues on where I might find such creatures? Should a universal system disk have all the parts necessary for a powerbook to function or were there special system components that necessitate using only certain system disks? Thanks. If ignorance is bliss, I'm simply drooling away the days :-( -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

A clean re-install of software seems to be the better choice. P, The PB 5300 will only recognize an external CD if it is Apple branded or you start it up with a CD that has a useable System Folder on it(not too old, not too new). Once it recognizes the CD you can swap it out and go from there. That should get you going, if not email back, and Iwill send you copies of my floppy rescue disks. IIRC the d/l for the modem script is mislabeled, as it is a full version. Also read thru the upgrades carefully if you go too far it will damage your modem. But you can upgrade the modem to 33.6. A friend has a 5300 that adamantly refuses to install an Apple CD-ROM (he's tried three of them). Is it possible that the motherboard is faulty, and, if so, would this be eligible for the extended warranty program? Paul -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
