The only place you may be able to get the recovery disk (besides buying a new version of windows) is going to be from Compaq. A newer version of windows like vista, or Windows 7 probably wouldn't run that system because of the age of the internal components. Now if you can find a full version (not an upgrade) disk of windows 98, Me, 2000 or even windows xp you could probably install them. Since its Windows98 You may try ebay. Those recovery disks' are system specific, meaning that my recovery disk wont work in your computer. Unless it is the exact same model.
