Model 201 Maintenance Manual Index Files


 

Introduction

I made these files to make it easier to navigate around your Mercedes-Benz Model CD manuals.


Version 1.0a1 - In Work

This Service Library Maintenance Manual Index Project has not been completed. If you are an owner of the Model 201 MB Service Library CDs and would like to volunteer your time towards the completion of this Project, please contact Steve Nervig.


How to Use

These files now are much simpler to install....you won't have to move and rearrange all the PDF files; you just copy your two CDs to your HD and leave them as is. Add my one file and one folder and that's it. Takes about two minutes to setup. Because no PDF files are moved, you can continue to use the MB indexing system at the same time, if you want.

Note: These index files were set up using the Mercedes-Benz Service Manual disks. If you don't have the MB Service Library CDs, they are available from various places, including MBUSA, 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES.

To avoid any confusion... these are just html INDEX files (or maybe you would call them Table of Contents files). You have to have the Mercedes-Benz Service Library CDs from which to take the PDF files and put in your hard drive. All I've done is made it easier to access those files.


Installation Instructions

It's pretty simple. Here is all you do:

1. Expand the attached file, Model 201.zip .
It will uncompress into a folder named "Model W201". Inside of "Model W201" will be my main index file, named "Main.html" and a folder named "Index" which contains all of the rest of my stuff. Also in "Model W201" are two empty folders named "Model W201CD1" and "Model W201CD2".

2. Insert your CD disk 1 into your computer.
From your CD disk 1, you will find a folder named "Program". Drag this "Program" folder on the CD 1 into the "Model 201CD1" on your hard drive.

3. After all the files have copied, Eject CD disk 1.

4. Insert your CD disk 2 into your computer.
From your CD disk 2, you will also find another folder named "Program". Drag this "Program" folder on the CD 2 into the "Model 201CD2" on your hard drive.

5. After all files have copied, Eject CD disk 2.

6. Move the "Model 201" folder to wherever you want on your HD.
This could be your Documents folder, for example. Don't move any files around inside the Model 201 folder unless you know what you are doing. You could break links.

That's all that there is to it. So now the set up should be:

Exampple here

To run, just open the "Main.html" file in your browser. You can bookmark this page as your starting point.

So now with this, you can use my index system OR the MB html/flash files.

Please let me know if you are having trouble making it work. I hope that you all find the index an improvement to the CD experience and I also hope that you will let me know if/when you get it to work. Also, if you have any questions or suggestions for improvement, please let me know - constructive criticism is welcome and will never hurt my feelings! ;-)
