How to revive my Casablanca Prestige ?
Posted: Sun Nov 12, 2017 8:03 am
Hello everybody,
First of all, excuse me for the faults, because I'm french (sorry for my english).
My father is working (on a daily basis) with a Casablanca Prestige (provided with a 160 Gb Maxtor hard drive with Smart Edit 9.1).
He bought this system in 2011 @ Macrosystems France. Unfortunately, the subsidiary company company no longer exists.
The SmartMedia card was not provided when the Prestige when purchased.
The traditional hourglass is visible at startup (at the upper left corner), and shortly after, I have a perpetual black screen ; the OS is stuck (black screen visible with SCART, VGA, composite out). I must shutdown the unit with the power button.
According to windows, the hard drive seems to be in a perfect shape. (under Crystal Disk Info ; no errors or delays with HDD Regenerator).
I've already tried to :
- Burn a new CD (ISO : http://www.macrosystem.de/uploads/tx_bm ... lation.zip)
The DVD-Burner doesn't boot at startup. The DVD provided with my Casablanca doesn't boot either.
- I've bought a 64Mb smartmedia (FAT formatted ; brand : Olympus), and I've copied-and-pasted the content of the ISO on the smartmedia card.
Unfortunately, the smartmedia card is not recognized (red cross at startup = wrong smartmedia card). The FAT filesystem is correct ?
Which files must be copied on my smartmedia ?
- I've bought a new ATA cable, the hard drive remains stuck on the black screen.
- I've made a clone of my Maxtor hard drive with Acronis True Image.
The cloned hard drive in not recognized (Casablanca is asking for the smartmedia at the upper left corner displaying a flashing arrow indicating that the
Smartmedia should be inserted).
I'm really stuck ; If it's possible, could someone send me the files needed to reinstall the OS. If so, I will copy/paste theses files to my Smartmedia card.
It would be greatly appreciated.
If needed, i can provide the S/N of my Prestige and my original invoice (printed by Macrosystems France in 2011).
Thank's a lot
Christophe
