Compaq's "Recovery CD" - Need Some Advice
Hey everyone. I am preparing to sell a PC clone that came with a
"Recovery CD". Obviously, I want to protect my data (after my last backup) before the computer changes hands, so I am going to run the "Factory Restore" option on the CD. To be certain that I don't run the restore needlessly, ie., the buyer doesn't show, I want to wait until the transaction is actually made. How long will it take me to run a restore if my hard drive has about 18GB of data on it? Thanks to all in advance, Bruce |

If you're not saving the data (which you aren't if you use the "factory
restore" option) then it should take 30 to 45 minutes to restore it and double check to make sure it's working, depending on which model it is. Jaban Hey everyone.
