Hello:

When I first purchased my LapTop it came with 3 restore CDs. Now the Lap Top
is no longer working and won't even boot.
What (opensource) software can I use to extract the Operating System from
these 3 restore CDs to create a single boot CD ?


Thanks

I would pop a spare disk into a desktop PC, then boot that PC with your
restore CDs. It is likely that the spare disk will contain either an image
or an installable version of the OS at the end of stage 1. Whether it will
run on some other laptop is another question . . .

If you are trying to get the laptop working again, try booting with the restore CDs.
