You can also try and grab a copy of Windows 2000 somewhere and try installing that. Hopefully it will have all of the drivers you need and it should get you going again. I've usually had good luck w/ win2k.
Do you know anyone w/ the same model that would be willing to loan/burn you a copy of the broken disk?
another option is to call hp Customer service and tell them what happened and that you need a copy of the restore and your not going to pay for it. and if you have to explain to them that you realize that your going to need a new PC in the near future and if this is what you can expect from HP when you have a problem you can be pretty sure the next PC you buy WON"T be an HP.
Sometimes the Squeaky wheel get the grease.....Good luck
