HELP-Compaq Presario CQ70 - new drive hard = Nothing

Hi all, computer dummy here and I need help.

the Seagate Momentus 250 gb 5,400 RPM hard drive failed completely on my Compaq Presario CQ70.

I bought a new Seagate Momentus 500 gb 7,200 RPM.

I had Windows Vista installed on my laptop.

but when I'm the new hard drive, I tried to install Windows XP (that I don't have a Vista disc).

in any case, I inserted the new drive hard and drive XP OS then - NOTHING.

just black screen and after a while, blue screen saying windows has been closed.

When I go into the BIOS I do not see the hard drive and everything, but I can run a hard drive test and it passes.

I have removed and reinserted the hard drive and run the XP OS several times but still the same.

did anyone can help this old man so I can get my laptop up and working again.

Recognizing.

Andrew

  • Problem with cooling - HP Compaq Presario CQ70-211EM

    Hi, I didn't really know where to post, so I decided to post here, sorry if this is the wrong place.

    So, I have this laptop (HP Compaq Presario CQ70-211EM) for 3 years now, everything works fine, except the system cooling, computer laptop everything gets REALLY hot, after have 10 (!) minutes, I still have it, throughout the day, he is standing on a special base, fan has been cleaned (by me) 2 months ago. The areas that become really hot are: hard drive, ram, area around the fan and the left side of the laptop.

    I don't know what to do, any ideas? I really need help

    Additional information:

    Windows 7 Ultimate x 86(32bit), 160 GB of HDD, 2 GB RAM, fan, always, always connected (the battery is dead).

    ~ Viper13

    You can also remove the battery since you mention that he died anyway. Sometimes removing aid to cooling. When you set the bass processor speed - you changed it under 'Sector' haven't you?

    Yes, remove the old compound with alcohol. You can get Arctic Silver 5 here or in of many stores, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Staples, etc. Below are videos showing application of Arctic Silver and ceramics, the two coupons.

  • New drive HARD & OS errors-> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    New drive HARD & OS errors---> HP 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Can not install Win XP on another hard drive

    I work with a...
    HP Compaq 8000 Elite Small Form Factor PC

    Original SATA HDD is loaded with Windows 7 Pro.

    In order to install a program using this PC as a digital video recorder
    I installed the video capture PCI card and related software. I had problems
    associated with software and Windows 7.

    I know that the software works with Windows XP.
    Do not want to remove the original HDD, I tried my win7
    to replace the HARD drive and do a clean install of XP.

    I get the same error during the installation of the OS.  I tried different
    SATA and different XP install disks.

    The error I get is shown in this photo.

    Original HP HARD drive is a Hitachi 160 GB

    I tried 2 known to be good SATA drives.
    Seagate 500GB
    WD 80 GB

    I checked the bios settings and even revenue tio rear BIOS
    default settings.

    I get this error even with everything I tried to do.

    This happens during the OS install just after or during the process of the installation of temporary files are current

    written to the HD.

    When I re - install the original HD loaded with Win7, everything works as it
    expected.

    Any ideas on what] s going on here?

    Hello:

    The problem is that you must incorporate the necessary sata ahci drivers for windows XP to see the hard drive.

    Has Windows 7 and XP is too old an operating system to make them.

    Read the info at the link below, section of Intel and then read the downloadable PDF document for instructions on how to integrate all the drivers.

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-and-software/SATA-drivers-for-XP-solution-on-0x0000007B-BSOD/m-p/114120#M17758

    The only other way to install XP on this model is to go into the bios, the storage section and change the setting of sata ahci to ide emulation, save the setting here and once again, when you go out.

    The problem is that if you do this, you cannot change the setting for the preferred setting of DCIS, unless you know how to install the correct ahci sata driver after installing XP from the controller.  If you try to just change the setting back on ahci without having to install the controller driver, the PC does not start upward.

    Try "slipstreaming" the drivers first and if you can't swing, install XP in IDE mode and I'll help you get the drivers installed, so you can change the BIOS to ahci setting.

  • Compaq Presario CQ70 screen problems advice please

    any help would be thank you very much

    Thank you, but I've now sorted. If anyone has this problem as it seems to happen for a lot of these models, all I had to do is take off the screen and theres a card below the screen theres a black wire with a white contector of this card that seemed to be attracted to the lifting up & down the screen. all I did was to pull the wire through which gives him a bit of slack to move and I recorded it down and everything was fine

    I hope this helps if someone falls on this problem

  • New drive hard problems

    Guys,

    I wonder if someone can help me.

    I need to add additional hard disks to several virtual machines and use the vSphere PowerCLI v5.1 against a vCenter Server running 5.1.0b.  When I try to add the disc using the cmdlet new-hard drive, I get the following error:

    New-harddisk: all parameters can be solved using the specified named parameters.

    On line: 1 char: 13

    + new hard drive < < < < - vm WinXpMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".

    + CategoryInfo: InvalidArgument: (:)) [new-harddisk], ParameterBindingException)

    The full syntax of the command to run is:

    new drive hard vm - WinXPMstr - capacityGB 100 - diskpath "[MV] WinXPMstr/1234.vmdk".

    Thank you


    Paul

    You mix the different parametersets of the cmdlet New - hard drive settings.

    In your case CapacityGB and DiskPath cannot be used together.

    Hi Theo,.

    HARD drive is mounted on your machine fest, and it is not easy to change. First you have to remove the keyboard, then view and top of page coverage too. If you want to do it yourself, be careful. If you do something wrong, it can be very expensive.

    It is not easy to say which is the limit of the HARD drive, but I'm sure you can use 10 GB with no problems. Try to contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Perhaps, they can give you specific information.

  • I have announced a new drive hard into my laptop so i that no picture can now connect you and try to get my pictures back

    I have announced a new drive hard into my laptop but I lost my pictures is possible that I can recover by logging into the windows photo gallery

    When you replaced the hard drive, everything that was in the old man disappeared. Of course, because he's gone.

    Reinstall your photos from the backup that you made before you replaced the hard drive. Oh, you save all of your date? Oops!

  • Compaq presario v6000 v6409tu disk hard bios self-test fail

    Hello

    Windows xp no my pc compaq v6000 not starting and bluescreen showed a couple of times. I ran the BIOS (phoenix) disk hard diagnosis and the test failed. When I opened my HDD I noticed green rust as deposits into the connector on the hard drive. After cleaning with a brush, computer loaded XP successfully. But an hour later, while I was surfing in mozilla suddenly the mouse pointer started late and showed computer blue screen saying that windows has been closed down to prevent damage.

    I would be grateful if someone can tell me if it's a software problem or hard drive error. If I need to replace my hard drive, what are my options, for example. rpm, capacity, provider? Thank you.

    The only way you could have rusted copper into the connector on the hard drive is if liquid got in there so I am reluctant to try to speculate how much damage has been done. I remove the hard drive and connect it to the outside to another computer and run chkdsk on it to see if the drive itself is bad. As long as there is a problem on the part of connector and the interface with the motherboard cannot really trust the onboard hard drive Diagnostics. You could also get an own another new hard drive adapter.

    http://www.eBay.com/ITM/new-Compaq-Presario-C700-F500-F700-V6000-SATA-laptop-hard-drive-connector-/161297513053?PT=US_Drive_Bay_Caddies & Hash = item258e14ba5d

    If it does not turn on the hard drive is bad, you can replace it with any laptop SATA drive no more than 9.5 mm thick.

    http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822145587

    Above is a good thing. It is slim (7mm) but it will still go into the caddy and connect to the motherboard with the connecting piece. If the hard drive itself is always good, and you replace the connector piece but he always bluescreens, so I would not spend money on a new hard drive. I would say that there was damage to the motherboard.
