The issue here to be quite frank is the hard drive needs the compaq image before the recovery disk can be loaded. This provents people from taking there compaq disk and getting wise and installing it on multiable computers what authors call piracy.
What you need to do is have compaq NOW HP send you out a IMAGE recovery disc usually when a hard drive crashes they send you out the hard drive with the IMAGE.
The other solution is purchasing windows 7 upgrade and going at it from there.
Thanks hope this helps please do not shoot the messenger and leave postive feedback and ratings.
