Hi

compaq was bough out by Hp. I find searching HP site gives good results.

Support search page

8000 model presario results


I don't know your exact model but you should be right from this point - if not post here again.

I found some drivers on the site. Thanx, but my Presario will not recognize them. I was unaware that there were 4 disc's that I had to use to recover, Unfortunately I only have 3 of them. I think I can purchase the system recovory again from HP. Any other suggestions I am open to. Again thanx.

Hi

Hmm thats strange. I know the download descriptions can be a bit vague, but the drivers your require should be there to download. I once resorted to just getting all the availabe programs [it was an older PI] and sure enough, what I wanted turned up, What do you think is missing?

i downloading the ethernet controller drivers for the exact model of my computer but when i went to install the driver, it still didnt recognize it. The device manager still says that no drivers are installed for the video, ethernet, usb and sound.

Hi

Well at this point I would load up diagnostics. Its still F10? on startup. There should also be a bootable test/diagnostic program supplied for compaq, and available for download.

If the driver for the exact same model didn't work, I would then think you might need to apply a rompak? (ie bios upgrade or fix)
