A friend has a Presario 5630. I am trying to d/l it for her but don't
have her serial number. I am trying to get a hold of her to get it.
In the mean time, are there alternative locations other than
http://www.dewaldsr.com ? I can't get enough bandwidth there.

TIA

To start with, there are no downloadable recovery discs for any Compaq
Presario. QuickRestore CDs are available for most that came with Windows
Milenium or later OSs by calling Compaq.

Thanks, but the Compaq site says it has one. I don't understand. Do
you know what they are offering?

The Compaq link turns out to be one to order the CD. I couldn't tell
until I got the serial number. It does confirm there is a recovery CD
available.
http://qrcons.orderz.com/page1.asp

It is available for download at:
http://www.dewaldsr.com

The download is so slow it times out part way through.

Just get the CD. It's $10. including postage. FYI, Unless the Compaq folders
are still on the D:System_sav partition, the recovery CD will not restore
the system.

The S/N is on a white barcode sticker on the back of the PC. It is 12-digits
alphanumeric. You also can call Compaq at 800-841-2761 for
Recovery/QuickRestore CDs.

That's my plan. I was hoping to avoid the shipping time.
