HP Compaq nc6400 Laptop - recovery CD

Hello

I just bought a 2nd hand HP Compaq nc6400 laptop (XP Professional) and it did not come with Recovery CD, so I wanted to know if there is a way for me to create these.

I want to create a CD of recovery like that normally, you get when you buy a compluter again, can I use to reinstall the operating system (win XP Prof) in the case of a major on my laptop problem/mistake, which is to put the cd in the restart of the computer laptop and follow the instructions on the screen to restore the computer to its factory settings.

I searched the HP support site and found a lot of info, but I'm confused way forward.

Is this possible and can someone please help/guide me on how to do this?

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I can offer would be manually install the graphics driver Vista support for your laptop and driver, page and see if it works...

    BTW, the nc6400 has the mobile Intel 945 chipset, not the 965.  The 6910p has the 965 chipset.

    Download and run this driver... You will probably get an error of unsupported operating system.

    Conclusion of any windows error.

    Go to Device Manager and click on the video controller (or Microsoft based Display Adapter) who need drivers.

    Click the driver tab.

    Click on set to update driver.

    Select her browse my computer for driver software option and navigate to the folder of the driver that was created when you ran the file.

    This file will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp38833.

    Make sure that the include subfolders is selected and see if the pilot goes like this.

    Then restart.

    If your nc6400 has this problem with the SMSC Infrared driver with the! Marc, I went into the BIOS, found the menu of Ports and disabled the infrared port, saved and restarted.

    That got rid of the problem of device.

    I don't know of anyone who uses the infrared port anyway.

    Original title: Download drivers

    Do you know where to download free drivers for computer compaq presario laptop?

    Hello

    Check with Compaq Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in their forums.
    Other good sources are the real manufacturers such as Intel, ATI, Nvidia, RealTek or that which
    is the manufacturer of the device OEM.

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
    (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with
    their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
    site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and)
    software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - reset after each
    installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
    This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
    install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check manually
    by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    The c700 series uses SATA hard drives and Windows XP will not see a SATA hard drive without help. You have to load the driver for a SATA hard drive with the installation disk XP in "slipstreaming" of the pilot in the disc or using a usb floppy drive. Windows Vista and 7 and 8 will work fine with SATA drives out of the box. Post back for more information or see here:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/notebook-operating-systems-e-g/General-XP-downgrade-Guide-for-HP-laptops/TD-p/83267

    Yours is one of the models of "moderate." Simply follow the instructions on the link, or by post if you need help. You can also go into the BIOS and disable native SATA so that the system detects the disc as an ordinary IDE drive. You may be losing 5-10% of the performance of the car like that, but it's possible although difficult to set it to the native SATA after installation of XP.

  • Ports on Compaq CQ61 laptop.

Routine enough, but this time a message came in saying that "the dongle will run faster if it is connected to a hi-speed port."

    • Restart the machine to access the BIOS by pressing F10 (repeatly shortly) during the initialization of the process (before Windows logo turns upward).
    • Once you're there, select the Advanced tab.
    • Then select CD/DVD

  • Compaq Presario 2199US recovery help

    I have a Compaq Presario 2199US notebook that has been given to me.  The laptop came with factory restore disks.  There is a COA sticker on the bottom of the machine.  I have a Windows XP home SP3 and tired to do a clean install to use it.  When I try to use the COST he told me that I have an invalid number.

    Could it not because the certificate of authenticity is to maybe windows family xp without service pack?

    Any suggestion on how to be me and goes again.

    Hello:

    The only suggestion I have is that you can order a set of recovery disc for your laptop.

    HP has more, but you can still order a set from here.

    http://www.computersurgeons.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ID=4219

    If you do not install a XP OEM installation disc, that is why the product key does not work.

    In other words, if you si vous utilisez use a retail full or upgrade XP Home Edition installation CD, the OEM product key will not work.

    The laptop doesn't have a recovery partition.

    Is it possible to download Recovery Manager, so that I can create a set of recovery disks.

    You are the very welcome.

  • Compaq 620 laptop: Update pre-2013 model HP Compaq to win. 10

    It seems that my Compaq laptop of pre-2013 model requires the upgraded drivers be compatible with Win 10. Anyone know what drivers are correct?

    SFP

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the problem you face is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features is the specialized drivers written for the specific in your HP PC hardware - and unfortunately, there is no driver HP Win10 for your PC. HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

    This means that your PC is probably NEVER going to be fully functional under Win10 because the pilots is needs for all features simply do not exist!

    So basically, you shouldn't spend your PC at Win10.
