It's not something they advertise or give out easily. I believe, by law,
they have to offer them and can only charge for processing, shipping and
handling. HP sent mine for two computers here free. You need to tell them
that without a restore disk, if you have a hard drive failure that you
can't use the operating system that you paid for with the computer. You
*can't* do it online. You have to call their help and support number.
On 8/2/2003 at 7:30 PM a whisper was heard, and the one known as David
Weaver was rumoured to have uttered....
| I did call them, and they wouldn't give them.

| disc by law should ship when the computer ships. The way I
| understand
| it they are to provide a hard copy outside of the computer.

| You can get the disks for free from HP. It isn't well

| have to call them.

|
| | Funny that they now come from the same corporate
| | structure.
| |
| | One big thing that I don't like with the new
| HP/Compaqs is
| | that they
| | don't come with recovery discs. All the recovery
| stuff is
| on a
| | partition on the hard drive. How they get away
| with this
| when
| | you're to
| | be given a hard copy of any software they put on
| is beyond
| me.
| | If the
| | HD fails you're stuck shelling out $50 or so
| dollars for a
| | recovery CD
| | with the OS on it. (that's after warranty).
| |
| | And if you ever need tech support, forget about
| it.
| HP/Compaq
| | is worse
| | than Dell in my opinion, and Dell's support is
| nonexsistent.
| | I've got
| | customers who come to me before they ever call
| Dell or
| | HP/Compaq, even
| | when the computer is under warranty.

| | No problem with three here, other than cleaning
| all the
| crap
| | off them
| | before I could use them. (G) HP is infested
with
| junk/trial
| | programs
| | and a good case of backweb. The computers seem
| to be good,
| | though...not
| | as good as a custom, but not junky like a Compaq
| either.
| | (Apologies to
| | Compaq
| | owners.)
