The only thing HP is likely to have suggested is to go to their website
a buy a new system.

I was able to make one CD that is bootable on this computer. I used
Nero's built-in boot cd creator which uses DR-DOS as its boot os. This
seems to be of the floppy emulation variety. It produces two partitions
on the CD with a small boot partition containing mainly the DR-DOS
kernel and utilities (A:). The second partition contains the remaining
data (D:).

This also seems to be the format of the Windows 95 recovery cd that HP
provided. You see both a drive A: and a drive D: when this CD boots up.
