Recovery CD Creator
Before you experience any problem, it is a good
idea to make recovery CDs for your PC by using
the Compaq Recovery CD Creator.
A recovery CD set is a complete image of the
original Compaq Presario home PC hard disk drive
contents and is matched to your PC model. The
CD set contains the operating system, drivers,
and application software that was originally
factory-installed on your computer.
You can use this program to make only one set of
recovery CDs for your PC. The recovery CDs you
create can only be used on your PC.
To use this program, your PC must have a
CD-RW drive or other drive that can write to CDs.
If necessary, purchase a Windows XP–compatible
CD-RW drive from a computer or electronic store.
The number of CDs in the recovery set depends
on your PC model. The program tells you the
number of CDs needed to make a set for your
PC. The process takes some time, including up to
30 minutes per CD to verify that the information
is correct.
If you do not have recovery CDs when
you need them, you must contact Compaq
Support for help.
