Default New Compaq - No Restoration/OS CD?????

Bought a new Compaq Presario last month and because of some problems, I am
told I need to do a complete Restoration. Problem is, I never got any
Restoration CD or OS CD with this system. Was I suppose to????

Got the system at Orifice Depot.

Regards and thanks in advance....

Many new Presarios do not have them. If yours came with a CD/DVD burner, it
likely has software to create your own Restore CDs/DVDs. Shoulda done that
first thing. You might call Compaq support. They may have a Recovery CD for
your Presario which will work with the Restore Partition (Presario_RP).

That comment doesn't even make sense. All computers come with either
restore cd's and the OS CD or at least restore CD's. To say that they dont
is just a lie.

Dude, call Compaq and get you some CD's! I just bought one and it came with
both restore and OS.

Not a lie. Some do, some don't.

In ink.net,
David opined:
Not a lie. Some do, some don't.

True---- my s3190UK came without any OS CD, had to use 6 CDs to burn off
my back up OS discs ---But it does work

Au Contrare, my friend. What I said is absolutely the truth, and I have a
new Presario S5200CL to prove it. It's wise to have your facts straight
before calling someone a liar. Moron.

I love your sense of absolute.

Too bad you're wrong.

Even my Compaq Armada 4141T from 1996 didn't come with any disks.

You had to create 35 floppies!
