XP General is just the name of this newsgroup, general
questions, a catch-all.
A Compaq System Recovery is probably an image CD that will
only format and reinstall an image of the system as it was
shipped. A Microsoft System Restore CD is probably Compaq's
OEM XP CD that can do repairs and has the operating system,
hence the MS in the name. To be sure, ask Compaq what they
mean by their terminology.

| MICROSOFT SYSTEM RESTORE
|
| By the way, is there a WinXP General? I thought there is
ONLY WinXP Home &
