| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Vista home 32 bit recovery disks not labeled help? Hi, My son sent me his Compaq laptop w/Vista installed and it wouldn't boot at all. Finally got it restored by using F11 and it is booting up again. They sent me 3 recovery disks, however none of them are labeled, so, I was hoping someone could help me get them labeled correctly because I am always the one in the family everyone calls when there are computer problems.  When I explore the disks there are folders as follows: One disk has folder called: Preload Next disk has folders called: Boot and preload Third disk has folders called: Preload and tools. Anyone know how these would be labeled correctly?? Thanks in advance! |

This would be a question for Compaq support, how are we supposed to know which Compaq restore CD is what? -- ------ "trulyblest" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:f5b519a776059d475a98219e8ed3cd31@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

| | Re: Vista home 32 bit recovery disks not labeled help? On my HP, when I load the recovery disks, Explorer shows their labels as Recovery13, Recovery23, and Recovery33. I hope that helps. *** "trulyblest" <guest@xxxxxx-email.com> wrote in message news:f5b519a776059d475a98219e8ed3cd31@xxxxxx-gateway.com...

Boot. 2. There are three disks, hence six possible sequences. You could just try all six. 3. Compaq might know. 4. If only one of the disks boots, there are only two sequences left to try: the second next, or the third next. -- Gene E. Bloch letters0x40blochg0x2Ecom |

Contact HP/Compaq support and find out how to make your own discs... and label them when you're done. |

On the other hand they'll only work in the proper sequence. Therefore you are the master. Good luck, Harry. Quote: > > Thanks in advance! > > > -- > trulyblest |
