Hi, sorry its my first post and i'm asking for help.
I was given the task of repairing a PG740PIII at work, it had been abused, was reporting a virus on boot up, a damaged mbr, the CD drive wasn't recognised in windows....the list could go on.
Luckily the PG backup disk and yellow keydisk were found, and i thought a re-install of windows would be a good start.
Format C: and away i went. (you know what i did)
I have previously used a PG with S5 + S7, but never had to install one before. I thought "just insert yellow disk, run authorsW and be up and running. Counter=0. Oh s**t. Read the help file, i should have transfered the authorisations BEFORE formatting.
Have they gone completley? Is there anyway i can recover them?
Can i get another set from siemens? (how much will it cost) Does anyone have a phone number for siemens in UK?
I promise to read before i do things next time
Cheers
Phil.
