I need some of the files on the restore disks for the 5834, my disks
are scratched, does anyone know how I might be able to get them?
Compaq no longer has them or provides support for older models but I'm
trying to restore it for my daughter.These are the ones I need:

Compaq (HP/Compaq) is one of the few computer firms that provides
good mature system support (software and documentation). Your
machine is amply supported:

Select Software & Driver downloads for your missing software components;
select Manuals for documentation.

You can also download 'allfiles.txt' from ftp.compaq.com; if you know the
softpaq number of something you're seeking, you can look for it in this
catalog.
