How do I Quick Restore from D:\
I need to restore a Presario 7000 to the factory installation. I do not
have a Quick Restore CD. How can this be done? Is it possible to created a startupdisk with a batch file that would access the proper file on the D: drive where all the restore files are located? Any ideas would be appreciated. Gene |

My current Presario model (S4020WM) has a shortcut to allow creation of a
set of backup CDs that points to: "C:\WINDOWS\CREATOR\CD Creator.exe" So you might look for something like that on your machine. Otherwise I'd ask HP/Compaq tech support. Try their email support first. Their website is impossible, in general, IMHO, can't find anything... -- Euc1id "Gene" wrote in message news I need to restore a Presario 7000 to the factory installation.

Noone knows where the Recovery CD, which shipped with the PC, is located.
The Compaq support on the computer is gone. The computer was riddled with viri that corrupted 335 exe files. I managed to find the file that launches the Quick Restore by searching *restore*.* The problem is that it requires the CD even though the restore files are located on D: I know some of the Compaqs running Win98 could be restored by downloading a softpaq the created a 3.5" floppy that launched the Quick Restore off of the D: drive. I have not found this capability with the Presario 7000 running ME. Can a floppy to lauch the D: restore files be created? "HH" wrote in message ... Look for a Compaq support icon or off the Start menu, or the Recovery CD which shipped with the PC. Any of these has a Restore option.

Your best bet is to pay $10 for the QuickRestore CD set. Call 800-841-2761.
