It should not make a difference. HPaq makes up restore CDs to fit at least an
entire range of models, which can vary in CPU speed, amount of memory, and
capacity of hard drive. It would actually be more work from them to make
restore CDs tailored to specific hard drive capacities, and they want to avoid
extra work just like you and I... Ben Myers

Compaq can send you QuickRestore CDs for it. Give them a call.

Thanks,

I did order the restore cd's form compaq. If replace the the orginal hard
drive (120gb.) with a larger hard drive,
will it have any effect on using the factory restore cd's?

I got a used Compaq Presario SX4300NX for cheap, the hard drive is going
bad.
It has XP Home on old hard drive. I would like to restore XP home back
to
original, but I do not have the restore cd's.
IF I can recover the data of the old drive, and copy to a new working
hard
drive can I make a set of restore cd's?
Or is there another way to restore XP home on this computer with abad
hard
drive and no restore cd's?

TIA,
Craig
