I just purchased a new Compaq Presario V6000 and it came with no Windows Boot Disk, or any other software discs that were already installed on the computer. Should I attempt to obtain the software from the purchase place? Or try to burn a copy myself? If so how would I do so? I really need help on this one! Thanks!!!

Unfortunately manufacturer's no longer package in the Windows disc. You can create recovery discs, but that's about it.

most new computer come with a partition that has the recovery files, next time you boot your computer see there a option to recover data it will say something like

F(some num) to recover data

on my vista it;s F11 to recover windows form the partition

Thank you for your advice. It is partitioned into 2 drives one of which has recovery information. Could I burn a bootable recovery disc using those files?
