Using Compaq
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 CDs are licensed for use only with your
Compaq Presario home PC. The CD set contains
the operating system, drivers, and application
software that was originally factory-installed 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 PC or electronic store.
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.
You can quit the process at any time. The next time
you run the program, it begins where it left off.
If you quit the process when it is in the
middle of creating a CD (before it has been
completely written and verified), when you
resume the Recovery CD Creator program it
starts at the beginning of recreating the
incomplete CD.
