Recently erased hard drive, NEED HELP ASAP [ Edited ]

[TaylorAnn]

it all started out one day my computer randomly started up under "PC Recovery", luckily I had made the recovery c.d.s before this happened, well i attempted to recover my pc from them, well it got to the 2nd cd and froze, so i took the cd out and redid it, and after i did that it said it couldnt even recognize the 1st recovery disc... so i erased the whole hard drive and all.. and reinstalled XP using an operating system cd i had from my previous computer (gateway).. well now it'll start up but i cant seem to get it to connect to the internet, I believe i am missing some drivers, and was wondering is it too late to purchase new Recovery Discs from here? Or would i be able to reinstall everything back from those discs even after i've erased everything?

Thank you for reading..

 I have a Compaq Presario SR1913WM

You want to probably give HP a call and order the recovery media from them. So long as the PC is under 5 years old they should still be available.

I had a similar problem with an Hp machine that was purchased with windows 98.  I downloaded Xp and it was fine for sometime. ( A year or so.) My solution was to completely reinstall windows Xp from disks.  Then it worked fine and I was able to recover all of my files.  Good Luck
