Re: how to load the recovery disc in a new hard drive

Hi team8a



The procedure for Recovery can vary from model to model. Find your model # from the list on the Compaq site ... the manuals and restore procedures are all there for you to study --- http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h...&lang=en&cc=us

A Windows-98 laptop is due for some hardware issues ... if running the Recovery with user-guide in hand doesn't help, you may want to test the hardware. And check the Bios settings, too.

Best of luck
. . . Gary

Re: how to load the recovery disc in a new hard drive

Hi,

Did you start from the 98 Start Up Disk? If you did, did you remember to remove the Startup Disk after getting the install started?

Good Luck, Jim
