Running XP restore disks

[Guest]

My original 40g hard drive on my factory set-up HP Notebook crashed (?). I
replaced with 80g drive. My Operating disk runs okay but system will not
accept restore disks. Will not even run them. Set-up came with WordPerfect
and PhotoImpressions programs, which I need for profesional work. What do I
need to do to restore these programs? I do not want to spend several
hundreds of dollars to purcahse programs that I already own and can't
utilize. Will appreciate ony help. Thanks. gilby
