Hmmm... Screw OEM Installation Discs. They're full of unecessary crappy software and sometimes spyware/adware. Get ahold of a clean (NON-Compaq FOR GOD's SAKE) copy of XP. I don't care if you get ahold of it legally or illegally. Just stop using that disc! Nobody should have to deal with reinstalling that same crap over again. I'm sure the recovery disc partitions your drives in a wierd way for "recover" or whatever. God, I hate HP and Compaq.
