I don't think those restore CD's will do a full install of your OS, but rather just restore a damaged or corrupted OS to its original state. I suspect that you don't have a complete OS installed.  You will probably need a copy of some version of Windows 9x to get it running again.

Installed back on my Compaq, fdisk and format and use the original disks from compaq to restore to original configuration. Restore CDsnbsp;(2 disks)nbsp;will run completely, but when the machine restarts it give me a message to call compaq for help. I will appreciate any help on this matter.nbsp;T.I.A.nbsp;nbsp;Heriberto LLerena Jr.
