When you purchase a laptop you are essentially buying the Windows product for that computer. Unlike tge good old days where computers came with recovery disks, they now come with software to make them yourself. Fortunately, Compaq is good about sending you one if you need it. Contact tech support with your Serial number and ask for a set of recovery disks for your model.

    Im guessing that your laptop came with the Vista Home Premium 32 bit. If so here is the link to order the disk set. Hope this helps: https://warp2.external.hp.com/driver/dr_...

DVD drive read/burn problem
From the description the new DVD driver is defective and should be returned if still under warranty. The only concern that I have is the replacement you got is identical to the original and that it is not a aftermarket product, because they don't have the same specifications as the original.

    The laser is weak and its not burning discs properly to begin with. Get a new drive put in there and that will take care of the problem cause a new drive will have a new laser in it.
