I'm asked to fix a friend's Compaq Presario.

Ridiculous that Compaq can't simply charge an extra couple bucks and
provide them.
Compaq's solution was to purchase a new computer.
Thanks for any help.
When the OS got 'too big for one cd', I've found that , when PC was new,
booting - it prompted to 'create CD's" to save that file - or instructed
user to do so. OR, it provided a QUICKrestore cd that had only the
'instructions' and used the image file from 'hidden' partition .
what is your model number ?
I'll see what I can find.
