What you have is the OS (sup) file. You can not install this on a clean HD. You must have a working drive to upgrade to.

If you have a unit that was purchased new and less than 3 yrs old, it should still be covered under warranty.

The factory uses special software to load bare drives. They do (have) not release this software to end users. This is the reason hackers found a way to work around it by doing a raw copy of the boot tracks. This is how the image files originated.
