I was running win2k with little trouble on a Pavilion 8260. Recently, I thought I'd try a clean install of XP. When I power up, the system does a memory check which I can't disable. After that completes, the system appears to be idle (no drive activity) for another 30 seconds or so after which, the hard drive finally kicks in and XP boots up. Also, yesterday, at bootup I got an error instructing me to backup my data because a "hard drive failure is predicted". Am I asking too much of this system to run XP? 20g Quantum Fireball hard drive 256mb ram 266mhz PII on board video and sound. Thanks Pete -- If you choose not to decide You still have made a choice.

- 1. Paper jam in HP 3000
Can anyone tell me what I might try to solve a 'paper jam' error message on the console? the paper doesn't actually jam, it just feeds in halfway and then stops. It appears as if the top roller is not turning when the paper starts through, although that roller does spin at startup when the printer goes through the self-check. I'm self-empolyed and can't afford any of the options offered by HP. I'll probably just have to go out and buy a cheaper printer to replace this one, so if I'm going to trash it anyway, I might as well try to fix it myself before throwing it out. The thing is only 13 months old and has been used considerable below the duty cycle. - 2. Scanner driver for the PCS 1210xi
I'm trying to install just the scanner driver for the 1210. I do not want to install the whole s/w package just the driver. I was able to install just the print driver & scanner driver before but I don't remember how I did. Thanks in advance, Jeff - 3. IPAQ 3970 & CDMA connection over IR
I am running WM2003 and cannot correct to a CDMA network correctly. It sort of gets 1/2 way there in that the number is dialed but doesnt work. (Dialing #777) The phone I am using is a Nokia 6585. The dial string I am using is +crm=1;+cs0=33. I have looked for any upgrade on the HP site but dont see any. Thanks

A 266mhz system will not perform well with XP. Did you check the minimum system requirements for XP? I think not. And I would suspect that your onboard video in less than the minimum as well. at drive

at drive Sounds like the system is timing out on a IDE device. Make sure all your jumpers for IDE devices are correct. (It may be waiting for a second drive that isn't there.)

1.HP Pavilion 8260 driver help
Howdy folks. A friends of mine just upgraded his 8260 from Win95 to Win98 and somewhere along the way he lost the driver for the built in ethernet posrt. He's using the USB port temporarily for his cable modem, but we'd like to free up that port. Does anyone know what the specific driver to get the ethernet port working again? Thank you. Trey
2.Help: HP Pavilion 8260 problem, no post???
My computer (HP Pavilion 8260) is a bit old, but it used to work fine. Yesterday it suddenly crashed (actually, the computer was frozen). And I could not start the computer today ( there is no post whenever I turn on the power.). The OS is windows 2000 professional. Could anyone give me a hint about the problem? Thank you! Jim
3.Can't do scratch install of XP Home on HP Pavilion with key code on sticker
I'm having some issues with this computer. My friend brought it to me to fix it up - she'd managed to get over 500 trojans, worms, spyware within three months. After working on it for the last few days, we decided to just do a full format of her drive and reinstall windows. The OEM screen for HP is displayed when booting up, but F1, F2, F10, and ESC doesn't bring up BIOS. I need to change to boot order so that I can start this whole process. Anyone happen to know the way to get into the bios? :)
I have a Aunt who failed to make a CD/DVD copy of her recovery files(XP). Well her Harddrive is on its way out, it won't boot and the smart drive feature warns of imminent failure. I slaved the drive into my system and was able to save most of her personal stuff including the original harddrive partition with the XP CD disk creation stuff......The harddive/PC is apparently around a 2002 model and I'm not sure if HP still offers replacement disks as I'm yet to find them on their web site, do they normally support it out 5-6 years? If so is the cost reasonable? Is it possible to use or run the original "replacement disk" partition without a working HP WinXP install? Any other solutions? Thanks Rod
