Compaq Presario SR1850NX

I own a Compaq Presario SR1850NX, it came loaded with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.  There are a few years that I have improved the Vista Home Premium operating system.  My HARD drive just crashed, and I tried the recovery feature , but did not work.  How can I get Windows XP Media Edition 2005 to recharge the system?

Hello

·        What are the functions that you have tried in the recovery options in Windows Vista and what happens?

·        Why do you want to install Windows XP Media Center Edition on the system?

·        You have the CD of Windows XP Media Center Edition?

If you have the recovery with you CD, then you can install Windows XP Media Center Edition on the system if the recovery partition is present on the hard disk if the hard drive is formatted, then you won't be able to install it on the system, you must contact the manufacturer of the system to help you install the operating system.

  • Compaq Presario SR1150NX: Error, disk Compaq recovery dead

    Hello, I have a desktop Compaq Presario SR1150NX of 2005. Everything works well in it and we emptied dust not for long. But then, one day I went to start it it says a critical system file was missing. I'm confused at first. After half an hour, creating a USB disk only to find it didn't work, I then had to use the Windows XP Recovery Console. Then after I fixed it it still didn't start because it couldint find the file. But when I start the computer, it shows me that, if I press F10, it boots into system recovery mode. OT started and told me that I could boot into windows xp system recovery. But in the middle of this, the computer overheats and shuts down. When I tried to turn it on again it gave me a disc error AND when I boot in recoervy, it's just bluescreens. Now when I turn on the computer, it does nothing.

    Is there any where where I could download a recoervy tool to open the hard drive in order to get the data on the drive and get a new drive? Or get a Windows recovery disc?

    Any help is the Apprecited!

    Remove the disk from the desktop.

    Buy

    USB 2.0 for HDD SATA/IDE adapter 2.5/3.5/5.25IN drives w / adapter

    See: http://www.ncix.com/detail/usb2-0-to-sata-ide-drive-adapter-a3-17762.htm

    and connect your hard disk with this adapter to a USB port on your computer.

    When you connect, Windows will ask your permission to run 'check disk' ('CHKDSK') to review and fix any problem of file system.

    I think that the corrupt currently-system files on the hard drive is causing startup problems you reported.

    Re-connect the desktop "repaired" disk drive, and then try again.

  • Problems with Compaq Presario 5BW220 RAM

    This office is 8 years old and supposedly supports 512 MB memory SDRAM PC100.

    Recently, I worked on this for my son-in-law.  It came with 64 MB of SDRAM PC100 and Windows Millennium Edition.  I tried to install 2-256 MB memory SDRAM PC133 maximum amount supported RAM, but it refused to start.  I replaced every 256 MB module with a 128 MB PC100 module and managed to do start.  I expected to read 384, but he will read only 256 MB.  I had not all PC100 256 MB modules to use.  I finally installed modules from 2 to 128 MB PC100 and he left like that.

    I never had a problem in the past with an old desk accepting a combination of PC100 and PC133 modules, so it was a first for me.

    The Compaq Presario 5BW220 have a problem with the acceptance of this combination, and she actually says a maximum of 512 MB?

    This could be useful in the future:

    http://www.crucial.com/

    If you click "scan my system" he can tell you all sorts of things on the RAM.

    I have a system built home (with all the paperwork by moving the boxes...) who had a chip spoil.  I could not remember what RAM took it and I didn't go root through the boxes in the garage. =)

    Their scanning system could not see what kind of memory I had, but he told me exactly what my motherboard could support. (Type and max of 1 GB per slot)  He even suggested several configurations of memory.

    Once I saw what he said, he had, I remembered that I had bought before and it didn't fit.

  • Compaq Presario CQ60: Wireless driver Compaq Presario CQ60

    I recently changed the House, but all with a modem of fastweb. The model of modem is the same as that of the old House, but they changed the modem gives me a new and my Compaq Presario CQ60 is no longer connects to the Internet, but only for the modem. Connection network tells me that the network is not identified and the internet does not work. I tried the modem power cycle and install different drivers, but nothing worked. What can I do?

    Hello:

    Your laptop is probably the Atheros AR5007 wireless network adapter.

    If so (you can check by going to the Device Manager, expand network adapters device category to see the name and number of the model wireless network card), this driver installation normally solves this problem...

  • Compaq Presario C700: Compaq Presario C700 maximum upgrades. CPU/SODIMM

    Hello

    Please answer suite

    1. how to get the maximum for components upgrades

    CPU / SODIMM given the configuration of the model Compaq Presario C797EE mentioned at the end.

    2. Why is there BIOS ver F.35 for Presario C700 when later offered is the worm F.34 bios on HP web. What is the difference. Where can I find both to be uploaded with the release notes. New BIOS on model C797EE allows processors support Intel Core 2 Duo X 9000 and PC6400 SODIMM for 8 GB?

    3. There is evidence of success update here. Only difference is its Compaq Presario C797EE but C771US not and was able to upgrade CPU Core 2 Duo T9300. Is it possible to upgrade series C700 (C797EE) to Intel C2d Extreme X 9000 processor. If this is not the case, what is the max for the chip set used in C797EE.

    4 NT are different for Intel T9300 and others by 35W 44W or any other factor, will they perform the upgrade, if yes then please provide last possible list compatible CPU my current chip-set

    Comparative analysis of the applications here are showing different results. Please see Sandra chipset readings compare to the results of CPU - Z.

    I will be grateful

    Thank you.

    Hello, just let everyone know that my upgrade worked.

    -Processor

    Updated for intel T9300 as reference. probably could support the x 9000, but it was much more expensive is not a value

    -Memory:

    I was skeptical with past more than 4 GB, however, currently functioning 6 GB (2 X 4). foung are not accidents of errors due to modules. Works perfectly.

    . After these updates, I installed small SSD, which added to the startup that gave more boost to the system.

    . Replaced the DVD with Caddy drive through visruth, installed with 1 TB

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/hardware-upgrades-replacements/dimension-of-DVD-CD-used-in-Compaq-Presario-C700/m-p/4926179

    . Replaced with 12 cells battery

    Conclusion:

    This unit of 8 years demonstrated startup, transformation and loading speeds that could be compared to couple of old machines, 6 GB working memory space that can accommodate witout heavy programs using the file (actually disabled) Exchange and on the storage of Tera bytes to store every necessary thing making the year becomes mordern General phone use. Only thing that is not dealing with it is the graphics card. Besides that all is well, infact it runs more more fees than before.
