QuickRestore
Hello,
I was given a presario to use and I want to see if I can get XP on there so I can use it as my everyday computer. When I try to use "quick" restore, it gives me error xxx.xx and says I need to contact compaq (which i WON'T do). The other option is to do a manual reinstall. I've done this many times but never with this result. I format the drive and install win95 (that's the only complete OS I have -- all the rest are upgrades). On the reboot this is what I get: While initializing device IOS: Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer. I've googled for a solution for this to no avail. I have no idea what's causing this and I would like to figure it out rather than get rid of the computer. Any ideas? Thanks, Andrew |
