Magnia sg20 (by 2 users)

If the magnia was equipped with a CD-Rom, a video card, keyboard/mouse ports or even a serial port, the advice to use "Hiren's BootCD" would be useful. However the advice is imcomplete at best.

First, some advice. If the magnia is being used as a router (as opposed to a file sserver) I would advise against using the disk image from toshiba. It is showing it's age and is not secure. As a file server, it's fine.

There are several alternative images. Yahoo's SG20 group is a good place to start.

Next, you will need a means to transfer your disc image to the magnia. Most people use a USB<-->2.5" IDE adaptor and transfer the image using a laptop (which has the required video card, keyboard, and cd-rom). I've never re-imaged using the toshiba CD. So I don't know if the CD contains all the necessary software, or if you will need a BootCD (such as Hiren's).

Good luck
