Does anyone know where I can download the compaq presario 2100 recovery disc free?

Ocha - that link is for "data recovery" boot CD. It has nothing to do with the actual hardware. The web site takes your search criteria and fakes a page that appears to address your exact model...just a scam.

Nothing "free" will be legal. Anything you download will be an illegal copy. The OEM can re-issue you the proper media (usually for a fee).

Or, if you are technical, you can install another copy of another OS and attempt to install the OEM or compatible drivers. I retract that "nothing"...if you download software from the manufacturer (Microsoft) and follow all of the licensing agreements, it can be free and legal. Windows 7 beta and RC come to mind.So does TechNet subscriptions to XP/Vista or other OS.

You can use them for evaluation only. But, the cost of TechNet is much higher that the cost of buying the OS at retail or OEM replacement.

Not free but cheap. user-guides.co.uk/cddownload/HP/HPCompaq... good luck I did search for a while to find something free too. No dice.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
