Okay, here's how you re-tattoo a club 69, feel free to take notes everyone

FIrst things you need are the recovery boot floppy and the recovery cd media (should be a three disk set with the part numbers 678516xx01 - 678517xx01 - 678518xx01).
the set I had was different, of course.
Second, you need to know the specification of the machine. The Club 69 spec is...
Model Club 69 Diagnostics (a list here)
I had other information.

Now, for the tattooing! Or rather, rebuilding the extended hidden sector. Tattooing will come at the end.
it turned out this machine I worked on didn't need the hidden extended sector for recovery, once it got tattood. The tattoo process used the info put in the hidden sector, tho.

First, boot off the recovery floppy, let it try to restore the system and tell you 'this computer has no valid information' then press the escape key until you get out to a command prompt.
From here, you want to type 'Q:' without quotations, followed by 'exths /restore' again without quotations - this will start the rebuild of the extended hidden sector.
For manufacturer, select 'Packard Bell'
Then input the part number and serial number of the machine, with the letters in upper case.
Select english as the language - if it asks for a country code, put in '01' w/out the quotations.

Things should stop for a second so you can recap the information you've input and redo anything you've incorrectly input. And off we go again!
