Any techs here know where I can locate a ghost disk for my WDS. Dick drive went and I need to reload the system. Have the update disk but no Ghost disk. Any help would be much appreciated!

 

No way I am touching that one!!

 

hlgeorge read your reply and thought you were being one and then I re-read my post and killed myself laughing. Don't blame you now!

 

I have both Jaguar CD2 (latest ghost disk) and Ford A6 as well as all of the latest Jaguar and Ford WDS software. I have sent copies to several people on this and other forums and people have sent me copies of CDs I did not have. If you are going to load CD43 you will need 42a and 43 (last version) as well as the CD2 Ghost Disk. It takes about 4 hours to load all 3 discs and WDS only recognizes ATA33 HDDs. I tried a newer 40GB HDD and it will not work. A 'Pentium I' running Windows 98 will only operate with a HDD up to about 8GB, so I use 3 to 4 gigabyte Hard Drives and keep a few loaded with Ford and Jaguar software so I can swap a drive if one 'CRASHES'. Let me know if you need a copy or 2.

See my earlier posts on this section of the website.

I used HAMA 8GB SDD disks, these are a bit quicker...

 

Avos

The HAMA seems to be a European thing.

I found some 8GB SiliconDrive (western digital) SSDs that are ATA 3 compliant that I might try. Thanks for the tip.

The CDs (Jaguar 'ghost', 42A, 43 and Ford A6) are in the post. I had to fill out a Customs Form and listed the package as Documents. You should get the envelope soon.

Discs arrived Friday and worked flawlesly. Can't thank you enough for your help! You have been of great assistance and couldn't have gotten it done without you!

 

So motorcarman, The disks arrived thank you sooo much! If I want to load the disks for jag only what is the installation order? Also do you know if there is a way to reset the setup password on the bios?

Thanks

 

I do not know the BIOS password . It might be a factory secret thing.

I loaded Jaguar on a 4.3 GB HDD and Ford on a 3.2 GB HDD so I have both. I just open the back of the PTU and swap HDDs if I want to switch from Jaguar to FORD.

The Jaguar software install order is....

CD2 (GHOST DISC that replaced CD1)
CD 42A (this is also 43A and must be loaded before 42B or 43)
CD 43

This is the latest and LAST Jaguar WDS software that was issued.
It will communicate with Jaguar 1995MY sedan, 1996 XJ-S and subsequent models up to 2006MY.

Hello Bob.... I was looking for Jaguar software for long time now... I have 3 WDS PTU's with Ford software, but I want to have a Jaguar unit instead the Ford. If you still have those CD's available I will really appreciate if you can send me a copy ... of course I will pay for the shipping, cd,s and any other cost. If it's possible, I will PM you my information...

Thanks!!!! Axel

 

I have the 3 CDs you will need to load the Jaguar software.
CD2 (Ghost CD)
CD42a
CD43

This is the latest and LAST software release from Jaguar.

Ok, thanks...that's why i found myself unable to send messages...

Regarding a previous post that you talk about the BIOS PASSWORD, I found that this password has worked ok in 2 of my 3 PTU's I don't remember from where I get this password, but for sure is 100% working. "dmwhjw".....

I'm trying to unlock the "special functions" on Ford wds..... does anyone have a clue about those passwords?


Thanks!!

Just wondering how I can get the A6, C5, and b43.19. I have a server that i would be able to host these images at for people like me. Thanks for any help.

 

Well, i found the Ford A6 CD, I am making an ISO of it to make sure all CD is good. If any one else can assist on the other CD's that would be great. I am going to my local ford dealer / former employer to see what i can find there. Thanks for any assistance.

 

Let me know if you can't find the rest of the CDs to load the software.
There is another forum member that loads large files to the internet.
I have contacted him to see what can be done.

Since you are new to the Forum and can't message, can you give me an email address to contact you??

 

My local ford dealer no longer has their WDS or software. My email address is mmalz@halfmoontechnologies.com
