compaq laptop has a special hidden partition where windows installation files stored, but to access it you will need a disk which is came with the laptop. i think without this disk you won't be able to restore you comp to factory settings/

When the bios screen appears push F11. This method works on the newer HP/Compaq laptops newer = 2years old or less.
