Re: I need a set of Compaq Presario reinstallation CD's...
I have the CD's that I ordered a couple of years ago from HP, just go to hp.com and support and drivers and you will see where you can order them. I think I paid like $12.00.

If you get the "NTLDR is Missing" error, follow these instructions:
1. Load Windows XP CD into CD drive. 2. Make sure BIOS is set to boot to CD drive. press F8 or F11 to get into BIOS
3. Boot the computer from CD. 4. At menu, press "R" to load Recovery Console. 5. Select the installation to be fixed. *The following instructions assume CD-ROM is labeled as drive D and the hard drive partition the windows installation is on is labeled as drive C. Replace the letters accordingly. 6. Type "COPY D:\i386\ntldr C:\" and press ENTER. 7. Type "COPY D:\i386\ntdetect.com C:\" and press ENTER. 8. Remove CD and type "EXIT" and press ENTER (to reboot your computer).
Video cards nowadays require a powerful psu if your psu can handle it. Since a HP Compaq Presario SR1303wm have an agp slot. Agp slots are old now you can find one but you can only play games that require minimal power. this one is the best that i could find
Insert the first disk from the Recovery set, and restart the computer. Force it to "boot" from the CD-ROM device, rather than booting from the 'C:' disk-drive.
That should start the reinstallation of Windows.
Disk boot failure is usually a sign that your operating system has become corrupt in some way.
If you've got your Windows disc, put that in the CD rom, then boot the computer.
There's a "repair" option that you can select, instead of re-installed Windows.
That *should* fix the problem.
It's also (thought unlikely) possible that your hard drive has died completely.
