So I still cant get my new raq4i to take the raq4r os restore disk, so I went looking through the config files looking for differences and found that cobalt programmers are very open about their comments, ie: (vulgarity filter on :) )

They like to refer to stuff as "special sauce" and "use the source luke!"

Just thought that was humorus for those that may not have taken a walk through their restore disks :) As it turns out, there is alot of stuff left in there that isnt used, like Qube3 scripts and Raq1-2 scripts and config files. Kinda messy.. And there are no real differences between 4i and 4r install scripts, so I am stumped.

I even got my raq to take an XTR restore disk but not a 4r... (although it stopped working at the "booting.." screen after install) grrr!!!

Do you have 2 identical HD's in your 4i; one on each IDE connector? If not, the 4r restore won't work.
