Attention: If you buy any Compaq/HP ..one of the first things to do after setup and creating a systemrestore point...if you've ordered with a burner of any sort..is to use a CDR ..to grab any batch of data(even that AOL CD whatever..) and do a test burn. If burn is a success..go into PowerManagement/Options and set(after noting/writing down what the factory set is) all three ..monitor,system and harddrive(s) to Never (turn off/standby)..on Applying and Ok..time for you to grab 5/6 blank known good quality(TaiyoYuden) CDRs and make your not provided by the vendor System Restore CDs.


<edit> ask AT user Ziptar
I need someone who got one of these to do me a favor. I need a set of restore CD-ROMs. I whacked my parttion and now I need a restore 😕.

just a reminder..🙁
 
I prefer DELL better than Compaq.
I've a DELL Dimension 4500 and bought my parents a Compaq. For my DELL, it comes with Windows XP disk, restore disk and driver disks, for the Compaq, nothing at all. They split your harddisk to 2 partitions and put all those files at the D drive.
I also think DELL's customer support and warranty service are better than Compaq too.
