Been handed my brother-in-law's laptop - Compaq 6720s - he reckons it got spiked during an electric storm/power cut and it wouldn't start up.
I've been able to get it to a recovery stage but it now needs the restore/system discs...which he can't locate.
Anyone know if I can get them online somewhere? It seems to be a Vista install but ideally I'm hoping to get a copies of the correct discs so I can restore the system to how it was...it's about 4 years old (at a guess) so I'm pretty sure Compaq/HP won't have anything going for it...
Anyone know any sites where I can locate this? I'm meaning legit sites rather than dodgy downloads from Peer-to-peer networks (in case anyone was thinking I was looking for some dodgy kit!).
Cheers.
It should have a recovery partition by pressing f11. If you need a Vista disk email me your address and i will post you one.
