HI,

I'm trying to get hold of a copy of the restore discs for this machine. I
have tried ordering them from HP but they no longer produce them and part
resellers can't locate any.

Can anyone help me on this? I've downloaded whats available from HP's
website (keyboard and graphics drivers) but need the rest (sound, internal
modem etc). My brother has given the PC to my father and the muppet has lost
the restore discs.

Cheers

Mark
