The drive on mine has failed so could one of you kind folks give me some directions on how to load the stuff onto a new drive?
I have a pc running win98 which i would probably use to do it if possible and i also have knoppix on disk somewhere if that helps.

You must first decide if your Snap is dead on the disk or on other hardware as well. If the power led (leftmost) can be turn on and off by just pressing the power switch then the motherboard is probably ok. Also you should feel if the hard drive is spiniing. If both are alright then you can go to get a new drive and start the resurrection process. There are previous messages which tell you how to open a snap server and message #358 tells you where to get and how to restore the snap os to a new drive.
If you want the easy way there are some guys at eBay selling new disk loaded with V4 snap os for about 80USD.
Hope this helps.
