I am unable to restore operating system after installing mother board from
salvaged pc on a Presario 6440 with

Titan II motherboard Pentium II 266 mhz.

When I run the Compaq quick restore after I enter the serial# and model # it
attempts to read the restore CD

but it just does nothing. Does it require the serial # from the PC the
motherboard came from? Or is there another method

 to be able to load OS from the recover disk.

I am able to get to the files on the recover disk but I am not sure how or
what file to execute to get things rolling.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
