I too would like to hear about a possible fix. /Jens On Monday, November 17, 2003 at 1:47 am, Anand wrote: >I've got problem with my Armada 1750.

This will clear the bios eprom. Stop hitting when you see the message "162-System options not set". Shortly after it will ask you to press F1 to Save or F2 to Ignore. Press F1 and your 1750 will boot nicely. I did it with 6 f.cked up 1750's in a row.

After the fn+f11 and saving f1 the pc powers up, the hard drive and floppy drives light up then the pc powers down like in sleep mode. After about 5 minutes A message apears saying "please insert system disk, hit any key to continue". HP support suggested that the floppy drive was faulty. It isn't!I made 2 diagnostic disks with it!I've never heard of a floppy that could write but not read!I hope there is some wizkid out there who can help me!
