Packard Bell Master Restore Diskettes

From the original site:
"These are the original recovery diskette files downloaded from the PB ftp site just before they pulled them. All of these are supposed to cover all PB's manufactured until March,1999. Unfortunately I didn't copy the web page that indicated which file goes exactly with which master CD's."

note from me - these were downloaded from the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org), and some of them weren't available for download. These disks were also known as Multimedia Master diskettes. You can also open up these exe files in Winzip to extract the raw disk image file.
