Compaq &; Dell
Okay I have a compaq computer and I just recently restored my computer. Well my friend wants to restore hers but she has a dell, and doesn't have her restore disk. What would happen if I took mine restore disk (from compaq) and stuck it in hers which her computers a dell, do you think it would mess it up? If it would does anyone know where I can get a dell restore disk?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
It wouldn't work.. It would just say please insert the right disk. What you could do is call the company and have them send you a new disk. They might have to ask you a few questions about proof that you bought the computer and what not but they will send you the disk. The sending usually takes 5-8 buisness days. If you need anymore info, feel free to ask.
I hoped I've helped.

It probably would not work. Most computers have a built in system restore, usually accessed through accesories or the control panel. Another option is to contact Dell about getting a disk.

It would cause the Earth to explode.

most likely it just wouldnt recognize the disk. are you sure you mean restore and not recover? because restore is alot less drastic and on most computers ive seen is under start menu>programs>system tools if you do mean recover then check to see if it is built into the computer like it is on HPs, restart the computer and rtight when it starts booting up at the bottom it should say F1 setup F10 syster recovery (the numbers may be different) press the one for recovery
