New Hard Drive for a Presario 4824
I am adding a 20G Maxtor drive to a 4824 (rev A). I have installed it, the bios recognizes it, but the machine won't boot. (It is booting from the original hard drive. The machine gives the Compaq splash screen, then says "OS Loading", then hangs.) The old drive is set as the master, the new drive as slave. I called Maxtor and was told that the BIOS had to be upgraded. I called Compaq and was told that they had no idea where I could get the Rompaq with the upgrade for this BIOS. Does anyone have any idea of where I can find the elusive BIOS upgrade Rompaq for this machine? Thanks, Matt -- PhoneMatt |
