Ok, here's what I tried. I have a spare 4.3 box in stock, and pulled the hard drive out, put a maxtor 4.3GB in, fdisked, formatted, and installed DOS 6.22, then installed 4.3 from the install disks.

At the end of the install, it asked for a telephone setup disk ( or someting like that ) which I did not have, but rebooted system and it came up.

When I went into the hardware key settings, it came up invalid key and the numbers did not match as they do on the working drive.

SO....Do I have to buy a drive with the key already on it? I thought that the install disks would generate the key on the new drive.

Can I pull the key from the working drive?

FYI...Not trying to do something I shouldn't, just trying to protect my customers investments. ( And be the HERO the day it dies )
