compaq presario cd-rom problems by
william kossack
The CD-Rom on my sons compaq w/XP home stopped working.
He recently decided to get DSL only to discover that the CD does not
work so he can't use the disk from Qwest. We tried several things last
night but I discovered so many problems that we did a system restore.
Do we need to let everything...

Compaq 2100 OS switching by
William E. Calligan
I just got a Presario 2100 that I needed in a hurry. As a result I
bought it from a chain store and it came standard with Winblows XP. I
tried to load Windows 2000 professional which I legally own a copy of
and prefer to use. When I re-booted after the OS load 4 drivers for
the system were missing...

Hard drive replacement and restore cd by
Will Smith
I replaced a hard drive for a friend in his Compaq Presario 5000 and it
would not allow me to use the recovery CD. I believe this is due to the
hidden file that compaq installs on its hard drives. I got around this by
just imaging the hard drive onto the new one.
Now, the guy got a virus that...

HP 6 Port SATA RAID Controller by
Will
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...

HP Filler Tray for MSA 60? by

Does anyone have the HP spare number for the filler blank that goes into the

SmartArray 5Si Creating Boot Volume With 32 Sector Offset by

The boot volume on a DL585 server with a SmartArray 5Si adapter is being
created with a 32 sector offset. This is seen under Windows 2003 64-bit
using Symantec Storage Foundation for Windows Basic 5.0. Every other

Compaq Chipset Drivers for DL585 Under Windows 2000? by
Will
Of most interest to me right now is where do I find the USB drivers for the
DL585.
I download and tried the AMD OPTera 8000 series chipset drivers, but the PCI
hotplug driver from that install hangs the system and corrupts Windows 2000
to boot (blue screen on reboot). If anyone has tips on what...

what option numbers are sold using that spare number, and this is not the

MSA1000 Controllers 218231-B21 and 218231-B22 by
Will
Is someone here familiar with what is the difference between the original
MSA1000 controller part number 218231-B21 and the newer version 218231-B22?
Are there any reasons to avoid the older model? Are they functionally
identical parts?

MSA1500 Uses the MSA1000 Controller? by
Will
The service and maintenance guide for the MSA1500 shows the second
controller for the MSA1500 is the MSA1000 controller. So does this mean
the MSA1000 and MSA1500 controllers are identical to each other?!

Can You Use Generic SATA Drives in Compaq SATA RAID Arrays? by
Will
One of the nice features of the 4000 series fibre channel arrays was that
you could get away with using generic hotswap SCSI drives in the arrays, as
long as you had Compaq trays for them. Do the newer SATA RAID arrays have
the ability to use generic SATA drives in Compaq hotswap trays?

Reliability of 4214 Cases by

In general what has been the experience of others with the Compaq 4214R
hotswap case? I've had great luck with the earlier hotswap cases that did

SCSI hotswap trays). But the 4214R has proven really unreliable for...

Updating Firmware on AIT50 Hotswap by
Will
How do you update the firmware on the AIT50 Hotswap tape drive? I would
prefer a Windows-based utility for doing this if one exists. The Compaq
tape drive floppy set of seven floppies is just hanging on our Proliant
6400R, and I don't see a way to get it to do the upgrade correctly.

Compaq W8000 With 4GB Showing 3440 MB by

I installed eight 512MB RDIMMs (using authorized Compaq part numbers for the
memory) onto a Compaq W8000 workstation. At bootup the computer BIOS is
reporting only 3440 MB present.
Is this a limitation of a particular BIOS release? Is it corrected by a
later upgrade?
Or would this indicate...
