    Need to find a replacment cd that was smashed some time in the past for this laptop. Came across this site. http://cf-29.com/cf-29-recovery-disks/

    Does not state who owns it or any other information. Anyone have good experience using this site? should the iso be saved on a usb stick?

    the outfit is not red-flagged by eset , wot and traffic light ... they might be ok .
    they are not flagged at a couple of *spam* checkers (aka : linked back to bad ipa) .
    they are supposed to send the tracking number when the item ships .
    it would be nice to know the owners ... ya'd think they would stop by here and say *howdy* .
    (maybe we need to switch deodorants ?)
    o_O :biglaugh: :rolleyes:
