Compaq was incorporated in 1982 and was setup primarily for the sale and support of computers in the emerging home computer market. Compaq was recognised as one of the first companys to produce the IBM PC compatible type computers, these are the fore runners to today PC. Compaq were also recognised as one of the first companies to use the Intel 286 microprocessors. Compaq, who's headquarters were in northwest unincorporated Harris County, Texas, became the largest computer supplier in the 1990s. Compaq was purchased by HP in 2002.
From around 2007 most computer manufacturers, including Compaq, started to ship all their desktop PCs and laptops without the recovery disk or recovery CD. Instead they embedded the recovery partition into the hard disk drive. This created huge issues for any user who wanted to upgrade their hard disk. It is worth also understanding that around 1 in every 190 hard disks drives fail in the first few years of use, due to mistreatment or accidents. With this problem in mind, Restore Solutions developed a new revolutionary method of recovering an operating system. This process was developed so that the user could easily and legally re-install their system with a valid new operating system using an up-to-date clean recovery disk.
Direct Compaq support can be found here on the HP Compaq website.

The Compaq computer will need to be powered up with the recovery disk all ready in the optical device. Once the system is turned on with the disk in the drive, it should go directly to the start up screen. If however the computer still tries to boot the installed hard disk based operating system, it will need to be set-up to boot from disk. The same method also applies if you are re-installing your Compaq using a USB drive. Please see the videos below regarding how to make sure your Compaq computer is to set-up to boot from the optical device.

How to re-install your drivers after the Windows® re-install
After the operating system has been installed, hardware like your graphics sound and networking will not be functioning correctly. This is because the operating system would of set-up the Compaq with a default or generic set of Windows® drivers that are designed only to operate at minimal levels.
A driver is defined as the communication software that interfaces and drives the computer's specific hardware. Some form of device driver is required for the hardware to operate in any way at all. Windows® default drivers are designed so that that basic Compaq start-up requirements are met, such as being able to see the display. In cases where the computer is using a default display driver, you will not even be able to see the full screen resolution.
Our custom Compaq driver disk is one of the most versatile ever released. We think that a driver resource disk full of compressed, out of date and hard to install driver files is just not good enough. This driver disk will supply you with all the very latest Compaq device drivers available. Once the disk has automatically set-up your network drivers, and if you have internet connectivity, the system will then also update, replace and remove any old or broken device drivers.
Just put the disk into the optical device of the computer after the operating system is already running and the driver disk will do the rest.
