I lost the restore CD that came with my Compaq 5360. Can anyone tell me how to create a bootable Recovery CD with applications and drivers on it plus windows 98? I really need this. Please help me someone.

It ain't gonna happen. You *may* be able to reinstall Win98 over the top of your exisitng install, but I highly doubt you're gonna be able to recreate a recovery CD from scratch.
If you don't know the Compaq product key but are still able to boot into Windows, this key finder should be able to get the key for you. Write it down & try using it with your "normal" 98 CD.
