You can start a Compaq Presario CQ62 215DX from a USB

I found this cool new Linux Destro which is really useful only as a live usb. I did the live usb and went into the bios. I priority all USB devices in the name above the HD and I tried the USB in all slots, but nothing helped. Anyone know if it is possible to start this high laboratory from a usb key. Thank you for your help and your time.

Unetbootin can be tricky. The first BackTrack USB thumbdrive, I've done has not worked. I tried a different version of Unetbootin and it worked.
What version did you use?

Unetbootin-Windows-563 worked for me with a Windows 7 64-bit OS.

  • How can I install Windows XP on windows 7 laptop Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX?

    I want to install XP on my laptop (laptop Compaq Presario CQ62-215DX) which has Windows 7... give me some advice please

    You replace the startup disk in the BIOS cd. Then boot from the XP CD. And press a button when it tells you. However, he will wipe away Windows 7. So, if you want anything copy everything you want (with the exception of programs), before formatting the hard disk.

    NOTE: XP has no drivers for most of whats on the system (LAN/Sound/player card etc.). So if that is the only computer you have, go to HP site for this laptop search, download drivers and copy them into something. Before you begin. Or you won't get back on the internet...

    Also NOTE: If the disk hard in it is SATA, you will need to disable the AHCI in the BIOS (change it to IDE mode). Or XP will crash before you get to the configuration screen. Unless you download the SATA drivers, unzip / extract and add them when it says press F6 (on a floppy disk).

    The XP CD does not have SATA drivers on it either. If you do not add the SATA drivers during installation, do not change this back to AHCI after installing XP. Or it will crash

    In addition, make sure that you have a XP key. A key to windows 7 will not work

  • Webcam "IT is not" for Compaq Presario CQ62 215DX.

    I have YouCam 4 upgrade, and he says:

    No Webcam detected. Try connecting a webcam on your computer now. If you use a built-in camera, make sure it is turned on.

    My thing is that I don't know how to turn it on. Also, in the Device Manager, there is no imaging devices if that helps. I've had this computer for almost a month and has had this problem since day one. I called Technical Support and it me did not help at all to solve my problem. He said it's a "manufatcuring issue that cannot be resolved." I'm ready to fix it can so someone help me?

    * Yes this product has a microphone & and webcam too.

    Just like the HP technology, it's a 'manufacturing defect that cannot be resolved. I gues meaning is its built in this way. They cannot send you a webcam material because it came not with the computer in the first place. The glass like thing that you see on top is really a hole for the webcam. But you don't have the equipment for this. You must buy the built in webcam to adapt it.

    If you want to ensure that this is not not a hardware issue, consider reformatting windows. It is not an imaging device after reformatting, theres really no webcam is built in.

  • disk failure hard compaq presario cq62-231nr

    My compaq presario cq62-231nr (product # XC434UA #aba) stopped working last week and I took it into the store of the computer it is diagnosed. They said that the hard drive has failed and they were unable to get all the files out of it. They wanted about $200 to fix so I just brought home. I bought a hard drive to it (500 GB hitachi) and when I install it myself. I have 4 dvd recovery disks that I made for her when I bought it there are 1 1/2 years. Never done this before so I am a little worried about smooth how it will go. My questions are:

    1-will the recovery discs works

    2 - 500 GB hard drive will I put actually no difference from the old hard drive was a 320 GB

    3 - What steps should I take after I put my hard drive in and start it (insofar as the use of the recovery discs)?

    4 - I need a key at any time in this process? I don't have one that I know of.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Hey, Dan:

    You are the very welcome.

    You have almost...

    When you turn on your PC for the first time after installing the new hard drive, you must press the F9 key to the HP welcome screen.

    This will give you a few startup options.  Your DVD player should appear as one of these options.

    Don't do anything about the selection who again. First, open the DVD drawer and insert the diskette 1 of your set of recovery disks. Close the door and wait a moment – just a few seconds.

    Then select the DVD - ROM drive in the list of the bootable devices in the list of startup options.

    Follow the instructions on the screen.

    You never know how long will last the electrical components.  This is why it is always advisable to keep the backup files.

    There's an old saying... "It is not a question of if a hard drive will fail, but a matter of time."

    davidljtn44

    You can virtually none of the PENRYN 45nm lithography processors put in it, the optimal processor, you can upgrade is the Intel core 2 duo t9500. I have the same laptop and I have the next step down from what is the Intel core 2 duo processor t9300. There is no complete list of the processors that it will support the lists that you will find are incomplete at best even Intel does not update their information. Go to intel.com and search PENRYN in a search more people you can use, you need to compare to ensure that.

  • HP compaq presario cq60-215dx restore factory settings

    I am selling my computer compaq presario cq60-215dx laptop model and cannot figure out how to restore the factory settings. I tried a number of things... I pressed f9 to turn on the computer that has windows vista. Then I pressed ESC which lead me to the windows Boot Manager. It is said "to specify an advanced for this choice option, press f8." So I did and went up a list of the advanced startup options and 'repair your computer' is the one I clicked on because they say this option restores the system. Another menu came with the system recovery options, then I clicked on the full restoration of a windows PC with a description explaining that this will restore your entire server or personal computer from a backup image. I clicked on that and an error message came say that validates a backup location could not be found. Windows cannot find a backup on this computer. Set the backup hard drive or insert the final DVD of a backup set, then click Retry. What does that mean?

    Please, see performing a recovery of the system (Windows Vista) HP for instructions on performing a HP system on yyour computer recovery. If you have not created your HP recovery disks, you can do prior to the recovery. HP recovery disks are a Fail Safe incase something goes wrong.

  • Compaq Presario CQ62-209WM turns is not on

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ62-209WM.

    I recently had a problem with this computer where the screen would go completely black during start-up or process during recovery from sleep mode.

    I updated the Bios and the problem disappeared, but now there's another problem.

    Because the Bios has been updated, the computer turns on if the power cable is plugged. But if I turn it on and then unplug the cable, it works very well. It does not lose power and the battery holds its charge normally.

    No idea what could be causing this?

    Try this it should help

  • Compaq Presario CQ62 210US not: Compaq Presario CQ62 210US Notebook

    You want to set for this laptop recovery.  I wonder exactly what I copy discs, the new installation OEM, or one that is here now with added software and other.  I guess that happens since the recovery Partition and it's always the OEM factory settings.

    I have also been informed, I have perhaps only albe to accomplish once with the installation of HP, is true on this laptop in particular?

    Thank you pcpunk

    If you have a malware infection, he "" could have affected the functions of Recovery Manager - recovery & creating discs. You can order your support here page recovery media:

    BTW - a process that has worked for some, not all - is on the occasion of the recovery partition Active. This works in a large percentage of cases, but can result in the laptop, go into a reboot loop if the recovery partition is corrupted. This would require starting with a utility disk to deselect the partition.

    1.right - click on the "Computer" icon and select manage.
    2. This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
    3. on the left side of the MMC console, click "Disk management" and it will show you all the partitions.
    4. right - click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Partition Active."
    5. when the warning message appears, select 'Yes' – Reboot and it will automatically start in the Recovery Manager.

    Before you try this, you can create a bootable cd to boot from to uncheck the partition as Active and Mark C as Active - just in case the recovery partition is corrupted.  Scroll down the page and get > CD Bootable and > ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd, a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is > here. Once created, boot from it.
