pack i get one of two messages either

disk I/O error or invailed system disk


i am now lost as what to do next can anyone help?
 
Are you referring to the ASR floppy? It's looking for files on the hard
drive.... which you do not now appear to have because you've changed hard
drives and the information is no longer available.

An ASR should only be made on a PC that has access to a second hard
drive.... it create a complete backup on the first (system) hard drive...
and then on the ASR floppy, it create a standard bootup disk with extras...
it formats the first hard drive and then retrieves the backup information
from the second hard drive, and writes it back to the first one.

Exactly what did you do in the first place with the ASR.... and exactly what
have you changed on your system?
