VW320 CD Recovery Images
Greetings, all!

I am the proud new owner of a Silicon Graphics Visual Workstation 320 and it has a FUBAR'd Windows NT installation. (missing DISPLAY_DRIVER.DLL) I didn't receive the original recovery/restore disks with the machine so I was wondering where I might download them. Sorry, if this question is answered anywhere else, I haven't come across it yet. Also, I can't seem to figure out how to boot off the CD-ROM with a generic Windows NT Workstation CD (which I DO have).

Thanks for welcoming me here and also in advance to whomever can help me.

You should be able to boot the stock NT CD via the PROM. My VW is in storage, so I can't tell you where exactly to look, but it's definitely there. Or try a Windows 2000 CD.

I feel like this was discussed before, I have the original discs/images, I just don't know where the "right" place is to upload to.

Yeah, OP reposted twice. Grr.

As I've said, it can go on nonfree.irix.cc - just put the files on mega.nz or something and send me a link. Won't be an immediate thing, but I'll work on it eventually

Technical problems should be sent my way.
