OS and my lap top

O

Os

I am writing to all of you because I am facing a problem that am not
able to solve, and ..is killing my lap top.



I have problems with my Compaq Note book, Presario 715 US and the
operating system

It crashed and I was not able to get back it to life again. Compaq has
3 CDs that are necessary to conduct what they call Quick Restore.
In those CDs there are the drivers, among them ... the Cd-Rom Driver.

If you do a Quick Restore Procedure you obtain a system in the same
status when was it delivered from factory. It is not
working because one of the Cds is corrupted. So, drivers are not
transferred and .... by example the cd-rom does not read. Cause of it
...I cannot insert any other Windows operating system or any bootable
Cd, because they are not recognized. I am seeing how my lap top is
dying because there is no support for it. I am also sure something
happened with the C: partion because many people was fooling around
trying to recover the system.

The only thing I was able to do is to insert a diskette containing
W98 start up which was accepted, but the Cd-Rom driver that W98
installed does nothing to revive the cd-rom as it is not the one
compaq is expecting ( a propietary one ). I tried Hirens bootable disk
and it is not recognised ..but it was weeks ago.

I was wondering if anyone know an easier method to bring my lap top
to
life and install any XP despite the one that comes within the 3 Quick
Restore Cds.( which they are corrupted )

Your help will be highly appreciate

Usually cds get corrupted due to dirt/dust/fingerprints,etc.Try cleaning with
soft cloth & rubbing alcohol.Take youre time....
