How do I identify my Compaq ?
I can't boot up my system ( I keep getting a 1790 error). I think I need
to re-install the bios but I'm not sure which one to download. I have a EN series with a Maxtor 6.4 gig hd and a PII 450. Any help? thanks |

I have a Deskpro EN series too.
The previous owner has cleaned the whole Harddisk. I have copied the C: + D: partitions of an older computer to this drive with DriveImage. But it doesn“t boot from the HDD. When i“m booting from floppy, i only see the C: partition. "fdisk /mbr" doesn“t help. I“m missing the first partition Do i need it? Is it a part of the BIOS or only a Diagnostics Partition? |
