Ok..I've had it. HP SUX!!!!!!! I was about to try a system recovery on my HP Pavilion 8565C due to monsterous problems. As I broke the seal of the discs, I observed one CRACKED Disc 1! Call HP and some non-english and imposisble to understand jerk tells me there is nothing he can do unless I purchase a new warranty for $50 some odd dollars. He gets pushy and I get punchy. In a nutshell, I told him to pound sand!

What can I do now? They don't have a recovery CD and my machine is s#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&g pond water!! Can I use a recovery CD from my Laptop (Win XP) to replace my moronic desktop (Win98)? Can I use any Win98 program to restore my computer. Should I just make this f'n thing an overgrown paperweight?

Please help me. I'm about ready to use this thing for target practice with a shotgun!!!!!
