Where can I get a Recovery Disc for my HP Pavilion 6340 Windows 98 Computer?
Hi, does anyone know where I can get a Recovery Disc for my HP Pavilion 6340 Windows 98 Computer? Thanks
Check with HP .. Sunray
I would imagine the manufacturer of the PC (HP) would atleast be able to point you in the right direction, if not provide the disc themselves.
If your model came with a different OS, probably you will not find this CD. If this came with Windows 98, contact 1-800-474-6836
You can get one here.

You can just install an os on it. Without the recovery cd. And get the drivers from HP.
BTW I have the disks You need.
It is the same set for my pavilion 6355 my kids use.
I don't know how I would get them too you. And of course you would need to use your MS product ID.

Of course you wont get the software that was on it like you would with the restore CD.
I had misplaced my recovery CDs and had to do just that. My pavilion has a clean install of ME on it now.
But I have the disks handy now for the next time the kids wack it out. :>)

I think if you can get a OEM version of 98 your product id should work.

You can look for one on eBay. I bought one for my Sony, it is a life saver.
