Lost Recovery and Reboot CD for HP 6830

[yikesmom]

and HP doesn't have any for sale or for downloading. Does anyone have any idea on how I can go about getting this OS and drivers? I am at wits end. I reformatted the hard drive since it was giving us such a hard time with everything, went to reload the recovery cd and discovered I had another HP software and it won't let me use it on this computer. I am so lost. :disgust:

You can get retail disks from eBay,install it,then download drivers from HP.
You will probably need to use a boot floppy to start the install,
as they like to BIOS lock the CD drive to the restore CD.
