Compaq Server Won't Install - System Formatted At Every Start Up

Sep 2, 2005

I have a Compaq Proliant 8000 here that had Red Hat Linux pre-installed and in working order. My company then decided that it wanted Small Business Server 2003 installing, so after using Compaq Smartstart to format and re arrange the disk arrays, which is no problem at all system formatted then a raid 5 disk array set-up which smart start detects and reads correctly However, now that is done the system will NOT install SBS 2003 or any other operating system at all, at the point of the install where the disk reads "Windows Set-up" the system just stops and freezes, this happens with other disks and different O/S discs.

New Operating System Install On Already Formatted Disk

Aug 30, 2005

Currently i have 2 hard drives, a 40gb and a 160gb. I have winxp on the 40 bg (single c: partition) as well as some files, and data and music on the 160 gb (about 50 or so gb full one partition-F. I want to take the F drive, the bigger one, and put it in my new computer. also, i want to install winxp PRO on the F: drive. so,can i add another partition on there now (so i dont lose files- i have insufficient room to backup F to C) and install xp pro, can i move the harddrive later and install xppro? basically, i want to lose no data and am unsure i have enough room to backup F, is there a way or program i can use to add a nother partition to an already formatted disk,what is the best way to do this?

Compaq Won''t Start - Trying To Start But Can't And Will Continue

Nov 7, 2007

My compaq is having problems starting up. It makes a repetitious sound like the hard drive is trying to start but can't and will continue to do so indefinately or until it boots. So I assumed it was a hdd issue, however trying the hd in another laptop worked fine and an alternate hd in my Compaq has the same problem. It does start up occasionally, although it usually freezes half way through booting up, but can occasionally work upto half an hour.

Compaq Start-up Does Not Process

May 9, 2010

i have a compaq presario sr1620nx with windows xp. one day the computer worked fine and the next it does not. the problem: on start up the computer does not progress past the "Compaq" screen. there are no lights on the keyboard so pressing F8 or F10 or ESC does not do anything. Everything is hooked up properly so it is not a power problem.

Compaq Presario SR1053WM Won't Start

Nov 12, 2008

I am only moderately technically savvy. I'm not afraid of technology, but my only experience is tinkering around with my own PC's over the years when issues have come up. I'm a big fan of trying to do things yourself before calling in the professionals. However because of this, I have been delegated to complete the task at hand. This is my nephew's computer that has been dropped off at my house to somehow get running again.

Won't Install On Compaq Desktop

Jul 5, 2006

I have a Compaq Presario s5200nx, with 512kb ram, 2.7 ghz Celeron processor, and now a 120 gb Western Digital hard drive. I took the original hard drive (120gb Samsung), which had windows xp installed and running fine, out and put it into a newer computer I built. I installed the 120 gb WD drive in (which also had a running version of XP installed on it) and it wouldn't boot. I then tried putting my windows xp cd in to reformat and reinstall, but everytime, it loads up, and then just says at the bottom "Starting Windows" and freezes at this. I then tried using the recovery cds that were made from this computer and put the first one it, It just gets to a screen that says "Compaq Recovery" and freezes at this. Next I took some "Quick Restore" cds I had from an older laptop and put those in. Everything seemed to be working fine until I got to the end where an error saying "Memory Error" came up, and the PC still wouldnt boot. I have tested the hard drive on other computers, works fine, as well as ran Western Digital's Diagnostics on it, which showed no errors.

Compaq Recovery Tools CD /Compaq System Recovery

Aug 18, 2008

I'm running Windows XP SP3 with everything up to date as far as I know. I have the complete set of my PC's OEM Disks that I've used once when my OS was completely messed up, had Geeks Rescue out and they couldn't figure out what was wrong, so I know what they are for.What I'm not understanding are the several tools I'm afraid to open listed in my "Start"/"All Programs" I have both "Compaq"/"Compaq Presario PC Tools" with "Compaq Application Recovery"/"Compaq Recovery CD-DVD Creator"/"Compaq Recovery Tools CD"/"Compaq Support Information"/"Compaq System Recovery"/"Remote Assistance"/"Safety and Comfort Guide"

Compaq Laptop Won't Start - Missing Files

Apr 18, 2007

I have a Compaq laptop that I bought about a year ago. Of course, I did not get a Windows disk with it and I cannot find the software that I did get. When I try to start it, it says that Windows cannot start because a file is missing or corrupt. The file is "windowssytem32configsystem". It suggests that I attempt to repair it using the original Setup CD-ROM, which, of course, I don't have.

Want To Do A Fresh Install Of On My Compaq, But I Added..

Sep 8, 2006

I've had this Compaq since 2004. I've added a gig of RAM, a 250gb SATA HDD, and a 6600GT card.

Anyway, I want to do a clean install of XP, which I've never done. I've cleared a bunch of space on my 250gb HD and transfered all the files im going to keep from C: to the 250gb.

So my question is what will happen to my 250gb drive? Do I have to disconnect it? Will XP recognize it after the clean install? What about the extra RAM and 6600gt?

HP Compaq Won't Install - Can't Find A Hard Drive

Jan 3, 2008

I've been trying to install Windows XP on a HP Compaq 6710b. It's my friends laptop, it shipped with Vista and she hates it so I'm giving her one of my copies of XP to use, because I'm so nice and whatnot. It boots into Windows Setup, checks everything, and then tells me that it can't find a hard drive for it to install Windows on, and the only option is to press F3 to restart. Is there some step I'm missing to turn on the hard drive before I install? Is this a problem with HP products, or have I just forgot to press some button?
