i dont think it will let you because its a different brand,

and 4 your second question, i wouldnt reccomended, because you can start fresh just by installing windows xp,

Here's a website incase you might need a bootdisk, which you probably will
Bootdisk.Com ~~~~~~~~~~~~ then scroll down and you'll find this

( HOW TO GUIDES FOR WINDOWS XP )

here's their download section. ---> Bootdisk.Com - Free Windows Bootdisks, Free DOS boot disk <----

hope this helps, let me know if you need more help.

peace.

Ur best bet is to just format ur HDD then start a fresh install with an XP disc. It doesn't have to be brand specific for the XP install. U need the drivers disc for ur Compaq. Worst case once u get XP installed again u can d/l drivers off the internet.
