The Compaq Restore CD offers easy deployment and recovery of your Deskpro system software. Along with the operating system CD, the Compaq Restore CD enables you to restore the original Deskpro system software. This can be extremely helpful in the event of hard drive failure or corruption.

The Restore CD is specific to each Deskpro model and accompanies many models along with the operating system CD. For questions about or problems with this CD, please contact your local Compaq authorized dealer or reseller or Compaq customer service.

Refer to the Compaq Deskpro Reference Library CD for additional product documentation. Insert the compact disc into the CD-ROM drive, then select the document you want to read from the menu that appears on the screen.

Be sure to register your computer with Compaq.
