It should be on your computer.  Look for the 'Software Repair Wizard' in your program files.

you tap the F8 key to get to the menu for last known good configuration.\nIf you need the cd, you can get it from compaq, if they are not availiable, there are a couple of third party online companies that sell them, or you could just install windows xp with someone else's cd and use your code on the case

call any reputable computer repair shop in your area.  If they don't do it on-site, they should be able to refer you to someone who does.  \n\nFYI: do NOT use anyone who will charge you for their services if no data is recovered.  In other words, no results/data= no $$

you can get bootdisk at www.bootdisk.com\nas for the rest, you might have it ( 98 ) allready on the computer in a reserve directory as some computer manufactuers save it on ther rather than giving you the disk

That Compaq probably came with a utility, so you can MAKE a CD set of the RESTORE disks.   If you have not done that yet, then DO IT.    I have made that set and reinstalled on a new drive numerous times with a Compaq.   Look for the special Compaq tools.  \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

You can order recovery discs from HP here (See Step 2):\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?cc=us&docname=bph07143&lc=en\n\nThis is exactly why I would never buy a computer without discs. Just so you know, if you ever have a system without discs in the future, they may give you a means of creating them yourself. (See Step 1.) That's not gonna' help you now, but good to know for the future.
