Does anyone know the largest hard drive I can put in this Armada 1700 6266/T/4000/D/M/1? It has a 4 gig now so I would like to at least double that. I have the latest bios installed, but it doesn't seem to mention anything about hd size. I suppose knowing the largest partition size would also...

A few questions: How much can it be increased? Can I do this myself or do I need to have an "expert" install the required device? Will increasing the hard drive loose all the existing information on the old?

Hello, I am a very new owner of a Compaq 2178 laptop which on the case is named as a Presario 2100. Is this normal?

I just replaced one of my SODIMMS with a generic 256mb chip. The Armada recognizes all of the memory and adjusts the bioswhen it boots up. When XP goes to start it complains that the pci.sys file is missing or corrupt. When I put back both of the 64mb chips it works fine. Any...

a few months ago, I bought a used Presario 1925 laptop, with the detachable DVD/floppy drive wedge. Other than the battery only giving about 5 minutes of operating time, and the DVD only playing about 10-15 minutes before it starts skipping and finally locks up, I've been pleased with it, and...

Does anybody know where I can find Presario 1675 Laptop Softpaqs? Apparently Compaq (HP) doesn't support them any longer. My problem is my battery drains real fast. I know it's not the battery because it doesn't do that in my other machine. So it has to be something in this unit. If anybody has...
