I was trying to troubleshoot a friend's Compaq Presario 700UK notebook at the weekend. Apart from needing 44 Critical Windows Updates, 22 Windows Updates and 5 Driver Updates I also noticed that it was a bit light on memory for running Win XP Home.

I have an HP Compaq D310 Desktop, and recently purchased a Hitachi Deskstar T7K250. When this hard drive is in the computer and I try to run the Windows XP Professional setup CD, it does not recognise any of the partitions and is unable to modify the disk in any way. When I connect the drive to...

After reinstalling from the recovery discs, this new-to-me laptop has a few missing features. The four-way button between me and the mushpad doesn't seem to do anything but beep. Of the six buttons on the panel next to the hinges and "Presario 700" nameplate, only the power button is useful. How...

First excuse my poor English. I have a Compaq 6820S. The Hard Drive went out of the fixed Nap. I found the problem and I fix the HDD but....Windows Vista Home Basic did not work anymore. I call HP to have a copy in order to reinstall Windows Vista Home Basic. The answer is "Sir You warranty...

Is there any way to force drives that are inserted into a 4214R drive array to autostart? Apparently the host is sending the start unit to these drives by default. I have an application exposing drives through fibre channel where the start unit is not sent by the host, and I need the drive to...
