Hi,
My son sent me his Compaq laptop w/Vista installed and it wouldn't boot
at all. Finally got it restored by using F11 and it is booting up again.
They sent me 3 recovery disks, however none of them are labeled, so, I
was hoping someone could help me get them labeled correctly because I am
always the one in the family everyone calls when there are computer
problems. :rolleyes:

*When I explore the disks there are folders as follows:*
One disk has folder called: Preload
Next disk has folders called: Boot and preload
Third disk has folders called: Preload and tools.

Anyone know how these would be labeled correctly??

Thanks in advance!

1. I would start with Boot and preload. Its name has that magic ring to it:
Boot.

2. There are three disks, hence six possible sequences. You could just try
all six.

3. Compaq might know.

4. If only one of the disks boots, there are only two sequences left to
try: the second next, or the third next.
