Hi,
the recovery CDs are specific to the controller.
If this is the 8175 that you've said on the other post here :
then that's what you need to ask someone for.
The recovery CDs aren't made anymore, so we cannot provide you with one unfortunately.
Since you're changeing the OS from the shipped Windows NT one, then the licenseing that Mircosoft have would also be attached to the recovery CD.
The best source of information we have is here :
You can install the drivers for the supported peripherals by installing them from your restoration CD (Windows 9x/NT/2000 & Peripherals Drivers for Embedded Controllers) or by visiting the "PXI/VME/VXI Peripheral Configuration" Web support page (linked below). From this page, click on the controller you are restoring (8171/0 is for the series). Once you have the correct controller, click on the green checked boxes to locate a specific driver for a peripheral.
