You can download a Compaq restore disk from a few different sites depending on how old your computer is. You can look at places like CNet if your computer like mine is of the older variety or you can look on Compaq's official site if your computer is newer. Remember if you don't get it directly from Compaq to make sure that it is not virused or otherwise infected. Compaq also offers cds for
. restore disks at a small fee. If your computer is newer you can always ask the people that you purchased it from for the restore disk. You can find more information here: www.restore-disk.com
