****Running Windows XP on HP Compaq. Computer has been booting incorrectly and really slow so I thought I would use recovery disc. ONLY to realize after using it that it was for an old DELL laptop. I cannot find the recovery disc for my HP. Short of buying a new disc or computer, are there any other options? I know enough about computers to get me in trouble...apparently...Thanks in advance!****
