I only have a retail CD. No Cd was provided with the PC initially.
I'm assuming they had some kind of hidden partition that the restore
floppy used, but thats no good when the entire hard drive crashes!

a. Borrow an OEM CD from someone.
b. Get PB to provide him the full restore CD at nominal cost.
c. Purchase an OEM CD from a third party.
