re: compaq armada 1750 boot up problem Tuesday, June 30, 2009 at 10:16 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6528 messages posted) The error usually means that a hard drive has failed or become corrupted and/or damaged. Without being able to get into the BIOS to check the boot order of the drive(s) and possibly some other settings etc, there isn't much you can start to check. You will need hands on assistance from someone knowledgeable to help you, and will need the manufacturers documentation to start a good troubleshooting procedure for testing or determining if you have a hardware issue first off. If hardware is OK, then you get into a very serious multistep process of determing what you can do to repair the Windows install, if it is even possible. If it isn't, someone needs to guide you through saving any data you want to keep (again if possible depending on what is, or went wrong) and reinstalling Windows or running the recovery options from either the hard drive, or the recovery media that was originally shipped with the computer. Docs/faqs should be on HP's website now (as HP now owns Compaq).
