Hi all I have a Compaq Presario SR1150NX belonging to a friend. I just set up a new PC for him, so he's OK, but I suggested that I try to fix up his old one so he could use it as a spare at his office. It has Windows XP, but so many people have tried to "help" over the time he's owned it that...

HP marketed the Adaptec 2610SA as the HP 6 Port SATA RAID Controller. I looked on HP Downloads, but the Windows 2003 "driver" for this controller isn't a driver at all. The controller works under Windows XP but doesn't show up in Device Manager except as an uninstalled "RAID...

My sister recently shipped me a nonfunctioning Compaq SR2037X desktop thinking maybe I could get it working again since I've been in computers since the 1980's. She's already sent it to a tech guy who replaced various components including the motherboard and CPU and yet it still won't go. Here's...

Does the charter of this group include HP, as well as Compaq?

When I try to boot up, I get a message "not a system disk ..." I have found that if I put a win98 install disc in the CD it will give me the choice of booting from the hard drive, then I can run Win ME which is on the hard drive but otherwise, it just says replace and hit any key to start. The...

I have seen some generic memory sold online for about $25-35 per GB. However this memory is high density. Will this memory work in this machine or...

I was told that possibly some of the wiring that connects...

I have a few users who have Compaq Evo's (not my choice!). In any case, it seems like it's random behavior, but it must be initiated by end-user action - in this case, unintended action. It's as if the screen becomes virtual and is much larger than the monitor can display; to "move" around the...

Now that all the votes are in, looks like a step at a time is in order. 1. Abandon Primary Ide, and Install Promise card. 2. Hook existing drive to Promise primary as master. 3. If everything still works, hook new drive to Promise as slave. If something is wrong at this point, change all to CSEL....
