Compaq Presario 5140: Compaq Presario 5140 windows Installation

Okay so im trying to install ANY OS I have windows 2000, windows xp and linux. which none will him past the installation phase. It copies everything on the hard drive, but it can not find the disk hard once it restarts to complete the installation. I tested all three memory banks and the ram installed in them it has lots of power and the 2 400 MHz pentium running a little hot, but is a very good. I can do it in the bios but it's no help at all as I can NOT configure the list of devices first start-up, it is simply not available. As indicated in the title is an older compaq presario 5140; around 1998. Please send me an Email with some pointers or help. and my God not spammed not me saying to empty all the thing in a trash can! I like the older computers.

I found the answer myself. This applies to the Windows XP operating system to not initiate systems with blinking cursor error.

as with any startup in the bios section.

1 Startup Repair windows running with installation or repair disk and guest disk open command
2 run the fixboot command
3. run the fixmbr command
4. run chkdsk /r /p command
5. disconnect all IDE connections, then restart. This will update your bios.
6. make sure that the HARD drive is plugged into the motherboard of the PRIMARY IDE connection.  to find out what he just plug in each IDE plug and restart it until it starts.
7 replugin other ide connections you disconnected earlier.
8. check the HARD drive and set jumpers as "cable select".
 
and BAM enjoy the operating system start now.

Thanks the guy who gave me the generic answer without doing a
background on the system of the computer in question.

ID give you a negative vote if I could.

    Hi dmilten,

     

    In Windows Vista, you can get her out only 'default' and a 'default' endpoint.  Applications can play at all (and output record of any entry), but by default, they will use only 'by default' entry and exit.

    Outputs audio multiples are not supported by Windows Vista. It's normal. However, you can contact the manufacturer of the equipment for other possibilities.

    He may want to know:

    You can configure your Media Player to play a default device

    In Windows Vista, you can configure Windows Media Player to play an audio device specific.  Tools | Options | Devices | Speakers | Properties | Select the audio device you want to play.

    Hello Lowki11,

    You can also try a System File Checker to see if you have corrupted system files.

    Click Start
    Type: CMD, according to the results, right-click CMD
    Click on "Run as Administrator"
    At the command prompt, type: sfc/scannow

    This will check for any violation of the integrity and repair any damaged operating system files.

    Reboot your system.

    I hope this helps.
