Is nearby anyway to install my hp pavilion recovery disk to a compaq motherboard?
I have a hp computer but the motherboaed died. I bought a compaq motherboard. Since hp and compaq are together, I figure I could use my hp pavilion recovery disk, but I can't. It says it's just for hp computers. Is there anyway around it to install it?
Answers:
I disgust to tell you, but ALL OEM software license dies with the PC it be originally installed on.
Microsoft will only refer you to HP & HP will one and only try to sell you a unmarked PC or board.
From Microsoft :

call compaq and safe and sound the recovery disks for that model of compaq, they usually charge a small amount for the disks.
No, its not possible your rec disk be probably before the merger. The best style is to contact microsoft and explain the situation your current windows license should be adjectives. Use the default window drivers until you are up and running then surf the internet to find the best meeting drivers.
The answer is no. You will need to take a retail copy of windows & install consequently.
