  He mentioned that it supports AMD Athlon 64, Athlon 64 X 2 and Sempron processors. I was wondering if someone could send me a list of the athlon 64 X 2 processors support so I don't end up buying one that does not work...

  I checked the specifications of your computer system, and I see that you can upgrade the processor up to an Athlon 64 X 2 5000. Please contact any of the local stores for the same thing.

  Example:

  In addition, if your PC still uses the original PC4200 (533 MHz) DDR2 RAM, I highly recommend to replace

  with more quick PC5300 (667 MHz) DDR2 RAM (1.8 volts).

• Compaq presario CQ42: Compaq presario CQ42 HDD Upgrade

  Hello!

  A good and nice day to all!

  I just want to know if it is possible to upgrade my computer laptop (HP Compaq Presario CQ42) drive HARD internal 320 GB (current) upwards up to 1 TB of HARD drive?

  Share:

  My HARD drive right now is having a problem. I have it parted to partition 2 and it worked for me for a couple of years now. But lately this week, I removed the HDD to be used with an external box to copy some files from my desktop and installed as soon as it is. Unfortunately, when I try to start my laptop, it starts only until windows 8 Logo appears then flashing the screen off a second and turns to a black screen (similar to the background at boot)...

  When I put my camera and connect with my desktop, C drive is not recognized more... He sometimes say that I format the drive and there is sometimes no drive at all. While my D drive and his reserved system are present and accessible...

  I tried to recover the drive using HDD regenerator, but he says that the disc is fine.

  I also tried TestDisk but still no good result...

  With what I shared, may be you have some idea of what happened so I would like to know about it...

  My real question is how much HARD disk capacity can be improved? I intend to install a 1 TB if posible...

  Best regards and thanks a lot for any response...

  #IloveHP

  Not a good idea to remove a hard drive from a work computer and then attach it to another computer. Permissions can get screwed to the top of this way. If you want to transfer files off the drive just do it on a computer network. But to really tell if the hard drive is to have software or hardware issues you just need to launch the diagnostic hard drive in the BIOS of the laptop. And your question on the 1 TB drive is easy: no problem. You can install a 9.5 mm thickness 2.5 inch wide SATA 1 TB hard drive. They are actually 1.5 TB abd even now, drives of 2 TB and those would be too much work.

• The Compaq Presario 2100 laptop SSD upgrade

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario 2100 it was brand new in 2003. I have a newer laptop, but a train trying to upgrade the Presario 2100 as much as possible. This is the kind of a project now and I also want to get as much as possible out of it. I heard that SSDS are super fast and would improve performance a bit. Anyone did the upgrade to an SSD for their Persario 2100 notebook PC series already? All entries are appreciated, in particular information about the product that was used for the upgrade. If no one did, so nobody knows if it is possible to upgrade the Presario 2100 series laptop PC to an SSD?

  Thank you

  Huck

  Believe it or not, the maintenance manual is always available.

  Manual

  The Presario 2100 uses old school PATA (EIDE) hard disks that are different from those of the SSD SATA see you more often on the market. However, there is a PATA SSD. They cost a bit more per concert, of course. I put a PATA SSD in a laptop on the same vintage as the Presario 2100 and it does significantly improve start-up time and overall performance, but talk about the proverbial earrings on a pig!

  This is a 64 GB SSD PATA that would be perfect for the Presario 2100, but $ 90:

  On eBay you will probably find 32 gig for a little less versions.

• Presario V2036AP / PP967PA #UUF: Compaq Presario V2000 laptop / laptop SSD upgrade

  I have a Compaq Presario model No. Laptop computer V2036AP.

  It's Nr is PP967PA #UUF.

   

  Other details are,

  • Processors:-Intel Centrino
  • RAM:-upgrade to 2 GB (1 GB x 2)
  • OS:-upgrades to Windows 7 Home Edition, Service Pack 1, 32-Bit

   

  The HARD original disk that came with the laptop crashed 2 days back (November 1, 2015) and since then, I searched like crazy on the net about upgrading to an SSD, but did not all relevant information on my particular model referred to above and therefore this message.

  My questions are:-

  • Option-1, can I get an internal SSD 128 or 256 GB?
  • If so, what should be the specifications for the SSD?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-1?
  • Option-2, can I get an SSD external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-2?
  • Option-3, can I mount a HARD drive external and operated through one of the 3 USB Ports?
  • Should what changes I make for the Option-3?
  • Option-4, can I mount a 128 or 256 GB internal HARD drive?
  • What should be the specifications for HARD drive internal for Option-4?

  I'm really interested to be my laptop above through SSD only, so if anyone can give a solution for this purpose, it will be very very useful.

  Waiting for your first answers & thanks in advance!

  Best regards

  No he is the type of hard disk and how it connects, and you have this kind

  

  And an SSD is like this:

  

  See the difference in the interface? It is a kind of hole plug round/square of the thing. I could go on technically on different types of storage controllers and how to optimize the speed of SSD, but the different plug-ins is a killer deal from the outset.

  On what you can do if you want to speed up the hard disk, performance is to find a 7200 RPM hard drive PATA (top photo), which will be much faster than 4200 or 5400 RPM nature, which is probably what has / have. I actually bought a supply of 60 GB 7200 RPM IDE/PATA drives of the laptop that I use in my hobby of refurbishing older laptops. I don't want to sell to a member of the Forum HP (kind of conflict of interest), but I can probably direct you to the place I got them if you will send me a PM.

  My best real advice is that your laptop if it were a car would have the right to have "Antique" plates and is actually just a little newer than some of the 'old' portable in my "vintage" collection The market is very respectful of the buyer and you can get a laptop that will run rings around you for maybe $300 these days and will allow you to use a modern OS with a semblance of security. I don't think not that your could run anything newer than XP.

• Compaq presario cq57-339WM does not recognize the drive as a bootable disk recovery

  Compaq presario cq57-339WM does not recognize the drive as a boot drive recovery, I'm sorry people, I searched and I entered the job in New York as a matter of research. Operating system is 7 Home premium. Hard drive went bad, so I rplaced with new. I have had I have windows image backup, but the wizard could not find the hard drive. I ordered the HP poped the first of the two recovery disks, but the machine does not recognize the drive as a bootable disk recovery. I did factory retrieve records a large number of times on computers with different operating systems and have never seen this. TNA

• Compaq Presario c300 - Windows XP Recovery disk is not hard drive

  Compaq Presario c300 - S/No: CND6441F50 Prod No.: #ABU - Windows XP Media Center RT150EA

  When you try to restore a new copy of Windows XP and after booting with a Windows startup disk, download to the point where you can select "recovery or install new ones.

  When I press F3, it gives a message that the hard disk is not installed and I should check the connections of power supply, etc..  However, I can run XP from hard disk. And I checked through 'System' that the h/d driver works fine?

  The laptop is 2006 and the disc does a lot of 'Beating' when even simple are requested - where the need to re - install Windows.  (Tried to frag!).

  Can anyone suggest something outside the upgrade? Thank you

  Did you run a self test on the hard drive? You said that you can run XP from the drive, but it runs well? Looks like to me this drive is defect and the cause of these issues. Here's how you can run a self-test: http://goo.gl/pVHxW

  Let me know if there going to fail the test.

  Thank you!

• 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.

• 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

  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

  . 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.

  Thanks for your advice

• Compaq Presario CQ5600F: upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6)

  Hello. I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5600F which took a power surge. I use Windows 10 Pro and I'd like to update the Pegatron M2N68-(Narra5) motherboard M2N68-(Narra6). I saw some of these for the sale of the mobo. Can someone point me in the right direction. I'm trying to find the drivers and perhaps installation information. The motherboards I've seen are either used, rebuilt, or "other nine" with no accessories.

  Hi @stan7926,

  Thank you for your participation in the Forums of HP Support! It is a great location to get resolutions and interact with experts from the community. I understand that you need information on an upgrade of the motherboard of your PC. I'll be happy to help you with this.

It's always a great pleasure to work with tech-savvy and technically customers sounds like you. Kudos to you for this. I am amazed at your technical skills and levels of technical knowledge.

  First of all, the specifications are very clear on the HP website. It supports "M2N68-(Narra5)" with the drivers, BIOS and other updates available on the HP Web site. About the upgrade to M2N68-(Narra6), it may be possible, but before you buy the product, I would suggest that you contact a technician on-site that this motherboard is not listed by HP as a compatible Web site.

  I thank you greatly for posting your question on the forums of HP and for giving us the platform to help you. You are a customer of HP and we greatly thank you for doing business with HP.

  It is important that you are having problems with the bios and driver incompatibilities on the motherboard and windows 10 Therefore, it is recommended that you contact a local technician and check the compatibility of the motherboard before making any attempt to improve it.

• Compaq Presario CQ5300Y desktop PC - memory upgrade

  Hello, everyone! I hope you are all well.
  
  I have a desktop PC Compaq Presario CQ5300Y, to which I would like to upgrade the memory.
  
  The product specifications indicate clearly that the motherboard, a M2N68-(Narra5), 2 x DDR2 memory media. (In addition, the amount of installed memory is 2 GB.)
  
  The product specifications, in the information section of upgrade memory also mention the following:

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dual channel memory architecture
  Supports two DDR2 DIMM (240-pin)

  Supported DIMM types:

  PC2-5300 (667 MHz)
  PC2-6400 (800 MHz)

  Memory non - ECC, unbuffered
  Supports DIMM DDR2 2 GB modules
  Supports up to 4 GB * on 32-bit PCs
  * 32 - bit operating systems cannot resolve a full 4.0 GB memory.

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm clear (with what the article said) I have only available two DIMM DDR2 2 brackets.

  "What confuses me is the statement" ""supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM '. This is the reason for my question.

  "Supports 2 GB DDR2 DIMM" means that I have to use 2 GB DDR DIMM only, which means I can only go to 4 GB? Or could I use 4GB DDR2 DIMM, which breaks the barrier of 4 GB?

  In a few words, I would like to - at least - 8GB (assuming that I find two modules DIMM DDR2 4 GB). Would it be possible to have the above configuration?
  
  It is important to mention that the PC is running a 64-bit operating system.

  I would appreciate the attention he can draw on this issue.

  Best regards.

  Hello:

  Each slot of memory on the motherboard of your PC cannot accept that a maximum of one module of memory of 2 GB.

  1 x 2 GB will work.

  2 x 2 GB will work.

  1 x 4 GB will not work.

  2 x 4 GB will not work.
