I know this is completely off topic for the list,

jam. My girlfriend owns a compaq presario 1200 laptop, and the windows
install is b0rked (surprise surprise). The company she bought it from
refuse to supply her with the CDs and manuals that came with it originally
(it was supplied as ex.demo as a replacement for a broken model they
couldn't replace exactly).
Anyway, the result of this is I'm looking for someone who has said CDs
and wouldn't mind copying them, or even making isos for me, so I can get
her laptop up and running again.
Thanks a lot guys - I'll try not to be off topic in future :&)
You can get the quickrestore and softpaq cds at no change from Compaq:

You'll need the model and serial numbers from the machine when you call
them. The serial number is usually on a white sticker on the side and back
of the machine.
