Now I'm looking for these restore floppies too 😀
I just dug out my 433 out of storage for a full restoration.
There is a file on the internet archive page but it looks messed up and doesn't seem to be made from the original restore disks.
I'm pretty sure it used the same set of disks as the more common Presario 425.

I don't know if these Presarios had a similar feature as the PS/1 line had to create factory restore diskettes from a working system.
