Mike..

1. NT does not have DVD drivers.. at least not when that machine was current..
or ever AFAIK..
2. Win98SE is not the originally supplied OS..
with all this in mind, i'm sure that a recovery CD can be found..
i'm just trying to recall if the DVD applet is seperate or part of the recovery
only..
i'm also trying to think if i have a 770ED recovery copy here..
