« on: October 13, 2008, 07:13:26 PM »
A company gave me a compaq 800 and when it boots up it reads disk error....but when I put in Windows xp it installs half way then reads the same thing and restarts....How do i get to the Bios and Dos Command from here, or should i just replace the hard drive???

Seems like the hdd has failed but it's always worth confirming by using the hdd manufacturer's diagnostics from here..
One good deed is worth more than a year of good intentions.
