if you have a c:/I386 folder then you can run winnt32.exe or winnt.exe
which
ever one will work...
another things is that you might have a hidden partition that has the
program that will install your recovery disks from the mfg. Some
systems use
the f10 key that must be pressed and held immediately after the cmos
screen
in order to access and engage the hddn partition. Your pc's mfg site
may
have info about this if it applies to your system. But my guess is
that if
you were provided only with recovery disks and not a oem or retail
version of
windows, then it is likely you have a reserved space on your hard drive
for a
restoration process....

i tried to restore my operating system with the recovery disks i
ordered
from hp and in the middle of the creating partition feature it
stopped
due to a read error. now i have no operating system and continue to
get
the read error about 20 secs into the process. is the disk the
problem?
because ive lost my whole operating system. When I started the recovery
process the first time (using the disks I ordered for my specific unit)
it went through the first step of creating a new partition, and I guess
after it formated the drive and got ready for next step...it failed.
After re-booting I got a black screen with the msg no operating system
found and/or corrupt partition.
Ive since bought a scratch repair kit and am hoping this will fix the
read error im getting from the disk. If this does not fix it, is there
ANY way to retreave hidden revovery info? Maybe through a command
promt? In which case I have no clue how to get to that point. LoL...
