Hi Ron;

The first thing is to get to the settings area, hold the shilt key while
you press the caps lock key a couple of times. Do this when the screen
shows "loading from disk...".

The first message, the warning is that it is set up with a GS lpt1
driver, which this driver can not see the slot. This means the slot is
not set to printer or you assigned the wrong slot to the driver.

The second message, is that you do not have a MS-Dos disk setup as the
startup disk.

I think you will be able to copy over any harddisk files. That is files
on the apple that the PC-Transporter uses as its harddisk. The other
thing you can do is connect your 3.5 apple disk to the Pc-Transporter an
insert a MS-Dos system disk. You should be able to create one on the
working system.

Anyway I hope this helps.
