The diskette has the device driver for the SCSI host adapter.
You should be able to make one from the Compaq/HP Smartstart CD. You will also need the serial number and activation key. Does this system have RAID?. It seems to me that a two drive system, with one of 4 to 8gb and one of 72gb is rather unusual. More likely the system has two 72gb drives in it that are mirrored. Some RAID systems will only boot from drive 0 of a RAID 1 configuration, so it may appear that all data has been lost even though only one of the two drives has failed. I strongly suggest that you find a local SCO reseller, or at least a local HP dealer in order to determine the exact system configuration before you do anything. |

It's not a RAID System. The three file systems are on one physically installed drive. I believe the boot CD has the SCSI driver on it already. I'll get more information regarding the boot CD and post that shortly. - T'Hog |

The bootable CD contains the following files:
Name Size boot.image 2,880 KB emgboot.dd 1,440 KB emgroot.dd 1,440 KB rootsys.bak 584,764 KB standsys.bak 8,561 KB sysinfo.int 10 KB sysinfo.txt 115 KB It appears to me as if the emgboot.dd is the emergency boot floppy image and the emgroot.dd is the emgergency boot floppy image for the root directory. Does anyone know how I can get all of this restored to my new hdd? Thanks, T'Hog |

If the CD was made from the system, then you don't need to specify the boot string. Just press enter.
Then when you get the shell prompt run fdisk, divvy and restore the files using a program appropriate for the .bak files, (probably cpio or restore). |

Yes the CD was made from the system. I hope it's that simple... - T'Hog |

Okay fellas, it's been about 2 years now and for the life of me I can't recall how I restored the files...
I've got another computer that has a toasted hard drive and now I've got to rebuild it. I've got this same system, with the same bootable CD. I created the filesystems and are now trying to mount them so that I can restore the rootsys.bak and standsys.bak files. I've got the /mnt directory and I've mounted the hard the root to it using the command: mount /dev/hd0root /mnt I tried cpio and that didn't work. I don't have a restore file on the CD so I don't recall if I used restore to put the files on there. Any ideas on what to do next? There's data on some tapes that I need to restore for the client to get his 1st Quarter '09 reports out. |
