I am adding a 20G Maxtor drive to a 4824 (rev A). I have installed it, the bios recognizes it, but the machine won't boot. (It is booting from the original hard drive. The machine gives the Compaq splash screen, then says "OS Loading", then hangs.) The old drive is set as the master, the new drive...

Hey, Tom, Thanks for the reply. I find it odd, though, that the drive was pulled from an even older Presario 4712, where it worked fine. (I should have mentioned that it is partitioned into 5G partitions. Would that make a difference?) Setting it to cable select is no big deal, I've just always...

That's one reason that I've decided to go with a card. There is data on the drive, which I would like to salvage. MaxBlast software wants to reformat and repartition the drive. The instructions say that it can be used to make a slave data drive, but what the instructions say and what the program...

Hello, I want to run the system restore disk. However my keyboard is not powered during bootup to make the proper selection to start the process. That also makes me unable to enter the bios. I've reset the bios by moving the jumper pin and also replaced the battery. Any suggestions?

I'm looking for a new laptop - probably used for a year or two - I need something with a longer battery life than 2 hrs, and also retains it's charge while sitting on the shelf - I've found the various Toshiba laptops we have loose their charge just sitting around - Any specific models to look...

Hi all, I recently put my old laptop to a dedicated task rather than throw it away... but found that the clock won't run on time. It starts and stops and starts and stops (sometimes for long stretches of time). Before I tear it apart, I thought that I would ask if there was someone who could...

Never heard of a password being stored on a clock chip before. Have you tried the reset jumper? It's usually the only jumper right next to the mainboard battery. Another thing to try is removing the mainboard completely from the power supply and remove the mainboard battery. Leave both out for at...

Just recently, the video output from my Presario notebook began to fail. The LCD works fine, but the video feed is crap whether it's going to the LCD, or VGA out. Any who, my question is why is Compaq Tech Support seem to be incompetent lately? Not that I have anything against the tech support...
