Hi, You are correct HP do not provide the recovery disks for this Media Center anymore.
I've just about searched the net for anyone who may have recovery CD's for sale but no no avail.
If you can still get into the operating system use HP Backup and Recovery Manager, its quick and user-friendly. To run,
simply go to All Programs > HP Backup & Recovery > HP Backup
and Recovery Manager.
With HP Backup & Recovery Manager, file restoration is easy. To
recover a deleted file, simply use the Restore Wizard.
For a full
system restoration, press the F11 key during boot up and then select
"Recover PC" from the menu if there is a recovery partition available (sometimes you have to hold down Ctrl and hit the F11 key on boot up)
Other than that you may have to purchase a Windows XP or Windows XP Media Center installation CD from a reputable store like PC World for example.

I have a Compaq Presario CQ50 and the built in SD card slot is no longer responding when I insert a card (the light doesn't even blink). I went in to device manager, but don't see the driver. Where do I get the driver, or is there some other fix besides reinstalling it?

I find that I cannot navigate the program. I went from a concord that you chose your book, typed in the topic and then printed it. This edition is so complicated that I find that I am at a loss before I get started. It would be helpful to me, if there was a more explanatory manual. Patrice triciawhit@sbcglobal.net

I recently decided to try to upgrade my HP Slimline S3500t, 64 bit vista home computer's video card, but as i was researching it I found out that i needed to not only upgrade the video card but through upgrading the video card it would need a new power supply because of the low voltage on the stock one, so my question is if you could possibly give me the best low profile video card that i could put in it and a power supply to go along with it, links of course the power supply can be mounted on the outside of my case, but i would prefer it to be inside. Thanks
