New hard drive will not load, help Compaq Maxtor
My new used Maxtor 5T020H2 20G HD arrived today and when loading the
Compaq full restore software into this hard drive it says, "Error, out of memory" halfway into the loading process. The loading process is halted. I notice the hard drive light in front of the computer rarely comes on as quick flashes. No flashes or just 2 seconds flash on per 5 min. It could be my Compaq restore software. But why do other hard drives work with Compaq restore? I bought the 5T020H2 because it's known to work with Compaq restore. If that means I may need to get a new operating system I need to confirm it before I go get one. So what could be the problem? Thanks. |
