Jay,

Your disks should be labeled.  If you were past the SLIC/OS and into the
licensed programs, you should be able to run the system.  If you were on
disk four of five, odds are that your system is not hosed.

Are you in need of immediate advice?  Does this machine have to be in
production soon or can you be a little more relaxed?

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
