hard drive contollers
Hi,
I have a friends fairly old compaq amada 300 to look at (I think the name is correct), A message saying '1872 hard drive controller is not working' is appearing Question ; Is this motherboard related, ie, needing to be replaced. or is there another explanation. This will save me taking apart to look at it from the start. Many thanks Glenn |

The HD controller is integrated onto the motherboard, so yes, you would need
to replace the MB if the contoller goes bad. Isn't that a 1782 error, not 1872? HH "G" wrote in message ...

This will save me taking apart to look at it from the start. I got this same message when trying to do a Quick Restore on a Compaq Presario Model 4712. It turns out that it came with a 2.5 GB Western Digital Hard Drive that eventually went bad. I replaced it with a 2.1 GB Western Digital Drive. I just had the Jumper set incorrectly. I removed the Jumper on the single Hard Drive and then I did not get that message. Also needed to restore, you will need to write the BOMID to the New Hard Drive first. |
