Well, sometimes you don't exactly have a choice...

Let's say you get a Compaq, and you want to format the drive. You're pretty much forced to use their "Quick Restore" CD. Why? Because you don't get the OS on a disc...

I'm not positive, but I would think Dell/Gateway/Whoever would be the same.
 
Both Dell and IBM include quick restore CD's in their PC/laptop boxes, but they also include the original windows CD.


A small pc store near my house was shut down about 2/3 years ago, because they didnt include the windows cd and thay were suspected of piracy.
 
Until Mid-Last Year=

Hp = Hp
Compaq = Compaq


Since Mid-Last Year=

Hp = Compaq
Compaq = Hp



DCI was refereing to the 1st one I think.
 
Well both my Acer laptops and my sister's desktop doesn'; t have the xp cd. the system restore does the job.
 
it seems to be going fine now. No more registry problems as of yet. also, yes my computer is a hp and the disk came with that 'hp recovery disk'. anyways, im having a few problems. when i login to hotmail i get a blank screen? any suggestions?

when i first got an account i had the same problem.
After a lot of "failed" attempts (using up about a few weeks of my spare time) i finally managed to view my accounts in IE.


To solve this problem i had to set it up the account in outlook express to get my mail. You could try the same (if you know how as i had to get a mate to do it).

However once a message is in trash you can't remove it, you have to let microsoft empty the deleted items folder.

My brand-new HP 733a doesnt have a cd, product recovery partition... you can order a one time cd if you want... plus, i dont have to activate xp home!, didnt come up wen i first booted up, and the first time i restored either... also not in the start menu... arhhh...... one less hassle :)...
by the way my fairly old IBM had a product recovery cd, not the orginal, they dont come with a new pc...

Like everyone has the money to go and buy a new OS? And there is NOTHING wrong with ME, just because you don't like it, don't knock it.
 
I have heard alot of bad things with XP too. to be honest i only like the look of it. I am having no problems with my puter now. Thanx everyone for helping. I only get registry problems when i restart, so i dont, also, i just press ctrl + alt + delete and close them when they do pop up :)
