Recovery CD only. There is no separate OS CD available. A
QuickRestore CD kit is available from Compaq for $10 (See link at
top of Compaq FAQ).

Well if that's the case and this is indeed an XP related problem,

then
how do I restore the system without destroying all data currently on
the system?



Take the drive out and put it in another machine as a slave and

recover your
files then put the drive back in the machine and use your restore

disc.

After that is might be a good idea to install the recovery console so

you
don't get in this situation again.
