fpin 0 Posted March 9, 2007 compaq laptop has a special hidden partition where windows installation files stored, but to access it you will need a disk which is came with the laptop. i think without this disk you won't be able to restore you comp to factory settings/ Share this post Link to post
Yankee 0 Posted March 10, 2007 When the bios screen appears push F11. This method works on the newer HP/Compaq laptops newer = 2years old or less. Yankee Share this post Link to post
