I need to reinstall the system 5.1 in my d8b but I don't know how to do it.
Can somebody explain me what I have to do? :)

If you have working floppy disks, you can use those files that captainameria posted a link to.
Otherwise, you could take the opportunity to replace the harddrive with a compact flash card, and simply write an image on that card.

arjepsen is correct...I strongly suggest you go down the CF route ...I did last year and it's great. There are open hacks to do that or you can see what I did here:

yup. The lcd display on the desk will inform you when you need to switch floppies.
