The following is the place to get what you want. I flashed mine and I have a 7594, it worked great. Mine needed the flash to upgrade for XP but if your's is running XP ok now with what you have I would leave it alone. It's your choice. http://web14.compaq.com/falco/sp_list.asp

Go to compaq site and do searches for downloads and bios upgrades..Ensure you get the right one for your mother board...after that, it's simply and you WON'T destroy your BIOS and the world will not end..it's not a complex thing to do...(like changing oil, right filter, right oil...piece of cake)..

the only reason i want to do it, is because it wont boot bootable cds anymore (after a virus a while back). If you put in a bootable CD it ignores it and sometimes if you put in a non-bootable cd it says that the hard drive cannot be found! What can i do?

I'm looking to flash the bios on a compaq MB I got from a friend for free. I just strolled upon these message posts in my searching. The compaq website didn't offer NE bios upgrades from wut I found. I figured that they weren't likely to since, the type of person that would buy a compaq wouldn't be the type of person that would know how to or want to flash their bios, if they even knew wut it is.

Hi , I have a "Time" computer and I'm running windows XP Pro and should have a 80Gb hard drive ( this was 80Gb when i bought it).After a year and half worth of usage which inlcuded;one complete re-install, downloading quite a lot of large files and putting onto cd and then deleting the origianal download from my hard-drive.I noticed something. Now according to the the little yellow information box when i hover above the little picture of one of my three ( partitioned) hard-drives I have only 54.2Gb worth of hard drive,so this begs the question what happend to the other 26.2Gb that should be in my computer?? I have been told that i need to "Flash my BIOS" i'm not sure what this will achieve,and whether it will work.Any help would be most appreciated!. james

How do I access my Bios?

[Reply or follow-up to this message]

After upgrading the Compaq Presario 7594 with the correct bios from the above listed 
website.  Now entering the BIOS shows 1 menu.  Its called One-Time-Boot, and it gives 
me the option of choosing the a: drive, cd drive, or hard drive.  That is the only 
menu, and those are the only options.  

WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO ALL THE MENUS!?????  Power save, boot options, peripheral 
devices, pci stuff, interrupt stuff, etc, etc, etc.  Its all gone.  What gives?

I upgraded in hopes that the additional RAM I added would be recognized.  Any ideas?

I have an idea--Stay out of this forum--these people are novices... Keep searching for the answer, there has to be a way to reset your bios (People have been doing that since computers first came out)---It just seems to be a little harder to find in XP--Good Luck.. Cathy

Try installing the new Intel USB drivers. It worked for me.
