The
Quick Restore folder should be on "
D" drive.
You will be unable to use
QuickRestore that way if they are not there. Sounds like the files were accidently deleted.
You will need the
QR CD's...
Try getting a hold of
Compaq (HP)about replacing the
CD's.
If you have access to other
Operating System OEM disc you could reformat the
HDD removing any Partitions and creating a single drive.
Before doing anything like that I would note all the onboard devices as well as the installed ones,save the drivers or you'll be searching later.
Your absolutly sure this OS cannot be repaired...
Did you do a cleaning?

CHECK FOR UPDATES
Set these for a

Click "

Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "
Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "
Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "
Next" again and click "
OK" at the prompt "
# objects will be removed. Continue?".
Ensure you
Reboot after running Ad-Aware if it found objects
to remove, so it can properly remove them.
Then
Download,
Install,
Update then..
Run
Fix everything in
RED
If cleaning doesn't work you'll have to either get a hold of the QR CD's or do a complete re-install.
