I have an old DOS PROGRAM we use for our business installed on an NT4 system. The program is shared out and mapped to our network. The motherboard (ABIT BP6 DUAL PROC)is failing FAST (leaking capacitors) so I NEED to either replace the board with something that will be NT4 compatible and boot up on first try, or move the drive to another machine that will read the NT drive.
All of our other network PC's are XP PRO. The NT4 box is our server, about 10 YEARS old.
I no longer have a hard copy of the program to install on another PC.
I am afraid if I shut down the NT box, it will not boot again. I have ordered the capacitors to try and repair the ABIT, but even if that is sucessful the drive can not last forever. We need this system all day every day and would very much appreciate any thoughts or ideas.The Best thing to do is Look around for the part if there is No Parts you could look at a specialist Dealers for the old Computer parts. I normally buy my pc parts from COmputer Fairs First thing I would do is to ghost the machine...make an image and/or a full backup. This way you have a safety net just in case the machine goes down. Next I would get the model number of the part and google the web for a replacement. I would also suggest looking for the company that made the software and if they are STILL around see if you can get replacement CDs or even a new version of the software.

By the way are you running a BDC? And what does this DOS program do? Have you looked into trying to find another vendor who would sell something like what you have that will run on newer machines?
