you need an install cd? Compaqs have a "restore" partition many times. Use the F keys to choose the boot menu at boot time and select recover partition. Failing that, you will need to order one from compaqe.

And yes, calling Compaq will probably be the only route to get one. Shouldn't cost more than about $10.

Sure is a pain now that they don't send disks with the systems anymore.

But at least Dell still offers it as an "Option" when you order a computer, at least, on the latitudes, vostros, and optiplex they do.
