• Need installation disk for Windows XP Edition family fo Compaq Presario S4020WM.

  Hello

  I'm running a Compaq Presario S4020WM and have Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 3) installed.  I got this computer as a gift and it came with this operating system.  The operating system is not a genuine copy of windows (he says it's a version of test on my desktop wallpaper).  The sticker on the computer, says that he supplied with Windows XP Edition original family.  I would like to reinstall Windows XP Home Edition on the computer, but I don't have the installation disc.  I contacted the web site of the window and chat with technical support.  They asked me to contact the manufacturer of the computer for my specific product key installation disc.  My product key is [personal information deleted], my product number is DK214A and the S/N is[personal information deleted].  I know I am not pleased under warranty, but I would be eternally grateful if you could send me the Installation disk for Windows Home Edition for this particular product key.  Thank you.

  Is windows vista compatible with windows xp and I have to have HP OPSWARE to update my system to vista?

   

  Hey mooredale24

  they are two completely different operating systems.

  You can switch from xp to vista, if you meet certain conditions

  under microsoft link has the vista minimum system hardware requirements for you to check if you have

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/system-requirements

  and as you mention HP go to their Web site below and see if your model computer has vista drivers available for him

  http://welcome.HP.com/country/us/en/support.html

  If it is not an hp computer go to the manufacturer of the brand of your computer and do the same

  If no vista driver is available, do not upgrade to vista

  link below has xp to vista upgrade paths

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/upgrading-from-Windows-XP-to-Windows-Vista

  and microsoft sells more vista

  you'd have to try online on amazon.com, ebay etc or ask at your local computer store

  Windows 7 is now available

  Why not visit if you are compatible with this operating system

  Your old computer is not powerful enough to run Windows 7 effectively.  I suggest you invest in a new computer that comes with Windows 7 preinstalled.  Examples

  You can download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor , if you wish.

  Make your Vista recovery cd/DVDs if you have not yet discovered it here

  Your model should ICH9 sata driver sliptreamed in the installer CD of XP. If you did it right, you'll BSOD error.

  Use Nlite to sliptream ICH9 sata driver.
  A good guide for driver sata sliptream, here

  Note: do NOT use this guide sata driver, your sata driver is below ICH9.

  ICH9 sata driver,

  The pilot lies in iaAHCI.inf and is called ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller, here

  Download nLite, here

  Some suggestions to avoid problems when installing XP:

  1 try NOT all wake sata drivers, use only ICH9--> ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI Controller

  2. use of XP - SP2, much easier to use since many XP drivers were built based on XP - SP2.

  3 burn the installer of XP slowly and do not use the maximum speed, sometimes it create errors

  4. choose a reputable support CD, not the one at little cost.

• I have a problem with the download of Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

  Original title: Vista SP2 help for download

  I just download Vista SP2 on my Compaq Presario PC and it seemed to install correctly.  However, after it restarted my computer, nothing happened.  The computer was on, but he was not making a noise and the screen was black (and eventually appeared in mode 'sleep').  After about 3 hours of this, I restarted my computer manually. When I turned it on the Tower made a lot of noise (sounded like a blowing fan), but the screen remained black and didn't try again to exit mode 'sleep' (even when I moved my mouse and restarted my monitor).  I am unable to do anything on my desk now, then, what can I do to fix this?

  Thanks for the help.

• Re: How to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300

  I need to reinstall windows vista on my Satellite L300 because of a problem, I had with it (the computer does not start and the recovery option does not work). It has not come with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  Do I have to get a CD by myself and if so - what version of windows vista is compatible with my laptop?
  (I can not contact the provider because I is not guaranteed).

  > It came not with a windows CD so how can I reinstall it?
  You had an option pre-installed on your laptop that you helped to create the recovery disk. Seems you didn't create this disk in the past

  Well, in this case, you can order the CD here:

• Compaq Presario S4500UK won't start after disconnecting from the wall outlet. What is a CMOS battery problem?

  Reconstruction of recent software with HARD drive internal extra (March 2011) under Windows XP/Linux dual-boot installation worked fine.  CD/DVD RW drive, started giving errors so replaced cyclic redundancy check drive a week ago.  All still OK.  Change of electricity supplied and increases energy use conciousness off the machine to the outlet of the overnight after normal shut down.  Machine will not re-start not in the morning.  Not load BIOS; all lights came briefly and then die after 3-4 seconds with power still led on.  You can get a similar effect by plugging the keyboard into the PS2 Mouse Jack I did once!

  After 20 minutes or so try all kinds of things managed to boot from the CD of Linux.  Shut down/restarted and everything is fine so I don't switch off at the wall.  Also seems to be OK after brief power off for 5-10 seconds but the problem persists with any long disconnection.  It seems that after 10 to 15 minutes from power-on and 2-3 attempts to restart, BIOS comes up and all is well, but he stopped in the middle of a start of Windows or Linux on a couple of occasions.

  Am I right in thinking the problem might be the result of a dead CMOS battery?  The reason that I ask is that the clock seems to keep time OK and there is no apparent problem with the BIOS once it loads.

  Any help/advice would be much appreciated.  New config info below.

  Dual boot Windows XP Pro SP3 of Compaq Presario Bios v3.03 S4500UK / Linux Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid (2.6.32 - 33)

  Drive HARD 120 GB (original Seagate Barracuda 7200) Master Boot Record, Partition Table, Windows XP, Linux, Swapfile etc.

  500 GB Western Digital Caviar Blue (encrypted)

  CD/DVD-ROM (original JLMS XJ-HD166S)

  Recently installed HL-DT-ST DVD - RAM GH22NP21 replacement NEC ND - 1100

  +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

  I don't have all the answers so I went forward with replacing the CMOS battery, but that did not help.  The problem is also obvious if I turn it off and leave it for an hour or more before trying to restart even if I do not unplug the wall plug.  It seems to take about 15-20 will start again before it fires.  I would be really grateful for any clues as to what is wrong.

  OK, guys.  I finally solved the problem.

  After you have calculated the power needed for the config curent, I discovered that, using various ways to estimate, he walked between 321W - 383W.  It was pretty weird that the only thing I added was a HARD drive and a memory stick and the wisdom of the other guys on this forum, it's that there is a lot of capacity within the factory installed power of 250W.  Yes and here's the rub: the modern replacement devices usually have upgraded capabilities and use more power.  And so when I replaced the drive CD/DVD RW added a few watts, as the sectoral approach of the floppy drive.  It appears also that the optical USB mouse needs more juice than the good old PS2.

  I just installed a new 450W PSU Powercool and Bingo!  The processor is faster, too.

  Hope that my pain and trauma saves someone else having to suffer the same.
