If you get error 180:14 or 182:14 trying to reset your laptop using the Quick Restore CD, don't worry. Simply PUT ON the CAPS LOCK and the NUM LOCK before the Quick Restore CD start. You will be able to avoid the problem, using the "OEM Mode" of the Quick Restore CD, that's so cool! :)

Has anyone tried installing a non-Compaq DVD drive in a Compaq laptop? I talked to Toshiba and they said that their newer drives should be interface-compatible with the SD-C2202 in my Presario 1675 laptop, but that Compaq may have changed the device ID info inside the drive.

The DVD drive in my Presario 1675 laptop died some time ago and I would like to replace or upgrade it. After some digging I found that the drive is a Toshiba SD-C2202. At the Toshiba Web site they list several models that include CD burners; for example, the SD-C2212. This drive, like the...
