I'm looking for a notebook with a 17" widescreen monitor that has its hard drive available as a plug-in module that is easily removed and replaced. We want to have three separate boot devices: for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, and it's very important that we be able to quickly switch...

I posted this last week with no response. I'm hoping someone can help me with this old laptop. I Have a Compaq Presario 1010 notebook with a dead mobo ( thought it was a 1020). I picked a new board (1020) up on ebay. First of all, is the 1020 compatable with the 1010 unit? Also, if I wanted to...

Hi, I have an old Compaq Deskpro. Not sure of the model number because there is nothing specific written on the case. I got it to boot a few times and it was running Windows 95, Pentium II (I think it was 450Mhz but not sure), 32 mg RAM, 9-10 gb HD. It refused to boot for quite a while but then it...

Hi all, I have bought for testing purposes a refurbed Compaq EVO T30 thin client device with Win XPe, unfortunately it hasnt came with any CDs and I think it should come with some management software so I can install patches and reset to factory etc. At the moment any configs I make are reset on...

I realize it's been ~4 years, and the only explanation I have is that I was feeling nostalgic, remembering better times in alt.sys.pc-clone.compaq, wandering through the Google Groups archives when the subject of one of your messages struck me as interesting. On November 2nd, 2004 at 8:17 PM,...

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...

I have got a Compaq PD1005. I can't find this model on the HP/Compaq-site. And nobody in this group seems to recognise the type. So I ran Aida32 http://www.aida32.hu/aida-download.php?bit=32, a system information tool. I found out it is a Compaq EN series. Now I want to know what EN series it...

Hello, can I install Windows 3.11 beside Windows 95b on this machine? How to do it? I want to be able to choose the OS from a bootmenue. Is this possible? The reason why i want to use Win 3.11 here, is that someone on the net told me that i can increase the operating-time. (Win 3.x consumes less...

LMAO, I didn't think message forum boards could get confusing but geeze, they should win a prize for theirs. Why don't they have regular forum designs like any other website has that has forums? Whom can you suggest this to over at compaq.com?

Hello, hope someone here can help, though I've put the post elsewhere too. I wanted a computer separate from my Vista laptop for specific tasks and have bought a refurbished Compaq Deskpro En, 886 mhz, 320 mb RAM, 20 gig hard drive. For a lot of simple tasks it looks fine, like this page, for...
