I built up a Packard Bell FORCE 480CD system and had a spare Packard Bell OEM 2320 PnP card available so I put that in. The correct Master CD for this machine is not expecting this card (it wants a 2316) and installs the wrong drivers which do nothing.
Digging around I have the Master CD for my Platinum 44 which DOES have the correct driver package but even though I've extracted it from the CD and unpacked the cab file I can't make them install. Running setup it thinks the files in the directory are still on floppies and fails asking for disk 1. Manually installing the drivers with Add New Hardware it can't find a number of files after feeding it the .inf and so everything seems to load (even the modem is working), except for the actual wave driver. I have the exact same card in the 44 right now and that one works, so the driver on that master CD should be the correct one. That's the CD I used to restore that machine.
What am I missing?
