Does anyone have a copy of the Ghost image? - I have a "bricked" Digital Sender 9100C. Best regards, Carsten Hi.

It works! The timing is critical, but finally our 9200c has risen from the ashes! Ok found how to initilize the new disks in a 9200C Digital Sender, coped from HP forum:

Tried to read it in an notebook IDE USB enclosure and it just ticks. I have a spare 20 gig HD here I want to swap in but don't have a source for a 9200c image, can anyone make an ISO?

How do you intialize the HDD? the steps I was giving, don't work. thanks I have a 9200C and the hard drive is a goner. How do you intialize the HDD? the steps I was giving, don’t work.

For one, you should still be able to find 40 GB disks. I've bought a number of 10 GB disks via eBay in the past month or so. I'm not sure what the maximum supported size is, but it's either 137 GB or much, much higher. I believe the ATA-66 standard limits drives to 137 GB, but the ATA-100/133 bus can go into the terabyte range. Judging by the 9100C's age, I would not be surprised to find if it has an ATA-66 bus and is limited to 137 GB. Thankfully, IDE drives below that capacity should be available for the forseeable future. I wouldn’t worry too much about disk sizes.

Have you tried a larger disk (120MB+) with the 32MB limiting jumper (if you can even find on of those). Any idea what is the maximum disk size it will support?

Unfortunately, I do not have a working 9100C hard drive to clone. I tried buying one on e-bay just to clone the drive, but got out-bid at the last second. Do you have a working drive to sell?
