Disk says "Compaq Recovery CD'. Instruction sheet with disk includes
"Factory Resto Restores your computer to the original factory
installed software state." That's the one I used. No MS logo on the disk
but at the bottom there is copyright info which incluses MS Corp.


The disk must have passed its shelf life. All magnetic media have a
shelf life and like magnets, the data fades as time passes. The disks
needs to be used at least once every 6 months to preserve its magnetic
media properties. This is sometimes called "Re-charging" the disk!!!!!!!!.


Now that was funny !!!!! Magnetic CDs ....
Like Win 10 uploading your personal data to "keep it fresh" ?
