I can give you the what's in the Palm Desktop folder from the CD. That includes intellisync lite too.

The size is around 50mb so provide me some way to send it

Hi,

Forgot to mention I am in UK.

Anyway over the net u can think of.

Open to almost any suggestion.

Thks again for your help.

You need to find someone with it on an FTP server. You can contact Sony and have a replacement CD sent in short order too.

The sender can use the program winrar to break the 50M file into 50 smaller 1M files, then send the files one by one to the receiver's email (because most email services don't like files that are too big). Having received all of these files, the receiver can use winrar to combine them into the original 50M file.

Do I make any sense?

how can i seperate and combine files with winrar, i have winrar never knew i could do this

[CliB]

Here's how I do it on WinRAR 3.11:

-Open WinRAR.
-Choose a big file and click Add
-In General you will see Profiles. Click Profiles and choose "Create 1.44MB volumes"
-Click OK and you've got it.

-If you want to get back the original file, click on the first volume ie the file with the extension ".part1.rar"

If both parties have decent connections (read: not dialup), you could send a zip file over an IM program of choice... ICQ, AIM, MSN, etc.

If you know how to use IRC, you can send it that way. I have sent the CD image to about 10 people using IRC. If you don't know what IRC is or how to use it, then you're out of luck... :(

In fact, you zip the entire CD and send. This would be nice for people like, say, me, who just lost their installation CD. ;)

Losing the installation CD is one thing, but how does a CD get corrupt? I am suspicious when anyone asks for the CD as the unit they have acquired may have been stolen or found a lost unit and decided to keep it.

I'm glad I'm not the only person with a suspicious mind . . . ;)   That's why I always (when that question comes up on ANY board) encourage the person to get their new CD from Sony.  They will do it if you provide the serial # on the back of your PDA.

Hi everyone,

Thks for for all your help, anyway to clear things up a bit, bought me nx70 in the Far East, but accidently threw away me disk with the packaging while out there. did not want to look stupid on the net. Suppose I could of come up with something better than corrupt.

So far have been able to install a few programs via beaming from my old N770.

If anyone can help, thks again.

Did you try Sony? The number here is: 877-760-7669 in the USA, I don't know if there is another number for your locale. It's always best to have the OEM CD so your unit keeps a better value. If not Sony, maybe someone in the UK could burn a CD copy for you.
