Actually, the point is that Compaq (and Toshiba for that matter) have given him OEM rescue disks instead of an actual working copy of XP. When you go to install XP on your laptop, it formats your entire disk and reloads XP as the manufacturer had originally set it up (crappy x-tras and all). No questions, no prompts, just format, install , reboot. That's all you can do. Basically, it forces you you buy a full copy of XP or a windows partition program that can handle NTFS. ANd it sucks.
