Restoring a Presario 1700 Notebook

I received a Compaq Presario 1700 Notebook (model number 17XL365) from my
neighbor a while ago. The laptop's OS (Windows XP) was in bad shape, so I
decided to reformat the whole hard drive. Big mistake. After formatting the
whole hard drive, I found out that the Quick Restore CD only contains 1.44
megabytes of information! The CD only loads a command prompt.

Anyways, I have been looking at Compaq/HP's website and have found nothing
on how to repair this laptop. The laptop's default OS is Windows Me.

Is there any way I can get this thing running with Windows Me in factory
condition? Any place I could get a CD that contains all of the restore
information... not just a lousy boot disk?

(Now, if we really want to get into detail, I also destroyed any hope of my
aunt's computer coming back to Windows Me also. They don't know that yet.)

Thanks for the help. It is GREATLY appreciated.
