Attempting to use Master CDs to restore a 2003 Packard Bell PC...

Hi, welcome to an experiment involving these Packard Bell Master CDs that I grabbed off eBay earlier this year, where I’ll be trying to use them to restore the classic 2003 Packard Bell iConnect 4048 Desktop PC. Unfortunately, this wasn’t a smooth process thanks to the wonderful ‘tattoo’ system that Packard Bell implemented in their PCs back then, meaning that any modifications done to one of these computers requires some workarounds to be made, or else the master CDs won’t work. Confusing? Watch the video to see what I mean. Hope you enjoy, even if the video makes less sense than this description...
