The only problem is that the original harddrive was 9.5mm but the new 60gb harddrive is 12.5 mm. Now I am not sure if Presario 2700 series support hard drives which are 12.5 mm thick? Has...

What's the fastest processor I can fit into my Presario 5000 PC (Model No: 5WV254, currently fitted with an AMD Duron 700 MHz processor, and 448 Mb of RAM)? Would a more up-to-date processor enhance performance to any appreciable degree? I don't do games, just office stuff, photo-editing, audio...

Hi all, I'm helping a friend with her old Compaq Presario 1235. It was running Win 98 VERY slowly so I decided to reformat and reinstall Win 98 SE as it is probably loaded with spyware, etc. I formatted the drive, created a Win 98 SE bootdisk, booted to the floppy, and later set the bios to boot to...

I have a Presario 5461 whose original 10GB Quantum hard drive is damaged. I replaced it with a 40GB Western Digital drive but now the machine won't boot up from the CDROM, even though the boot order is set in the bios to floppy = cdrom = HDD. In fact, I don't see any screen in the BIOS...

I used to have this program, but threw it away in a fit of housecleaning. I found I needed it again today, and that HP has removed any links or traces of it. Well, after about a half hour of searching, I found it and downloaded it again. It might be prudent to get it and save it if you don't have...
