Hello, I am also new at this and have also been trying to recover an MCE system using the i386 from the HP recovery disks. (In my case, I need to restore the original software before selling the computer but my recovery disks don't recognize my computer model. Per HP I probably have a corrupted MB tattoo and need to spend $200 with an authorized service center to have it reset) One suggestion in another forum is to create a fat32 partition, copy in the i386 directory from the recovery disk, boot into DOS, and run *:\I386\winnt. I haven't tried it yet but would be interested to hear if anyone has.
