Title: Time Computer Recovery Disk
Post by: Skywalker on October 29, 2005, 11:50

Help! I recently had a near miss when my PC Crashed and I just about managed to save it.(My own fault- downloaded a zip file from Shareaza full of Adware and Viruses) :twisted:
Any way when I went to check my original PC software I realised that I didn't have a recovery disk and obviously can no longer ring Time for assistance? :roll:
My PC Model is Time P4 Pro+ CnC (written on the box)
It is 3.0ghz processor, 512MB ram, FIC motherboard, 128MB Nvidia graphics and dvd writer.
I do have a driver CD for my hardware but can anyone help me in sourcing a recovery disk?

Hi Skywalker and :welcome:

If you have the driver cds then you are probably better off getting a full version of XP either Home or Office as I think youd be very lucky to find someone with the same recovery cd version that you need  :(

Do you mean obtain a new windows CD? I currently have a legal version installed and license key. I definately don't want to buy another Windows CD? Is there someway of obtaining a windows backup CD which I can use with my own License (ie keep it legal?)

I dont know if it would work but you could perhaps try contacting Microsoft and explain the situation.
It will only take a couple of minutes to email them and they may send you a copy, as you say you have technically paid for a licensed version already and it wouldnt cost microsoft anything to send you a new cd really.
