I tried getting access to bios set up pressed F1 after switching on - a line appears at the bottom of the screen " Entering SETUP. Keyboard lights flash for a split second then go off. The hard drive light comes on for around 10 secs then goes off. The cd and dvd drive light up but the floppy disk does not make a sound ie.check for disk. When I switched the HP on this morning the HP screen comes up as normal but stays there when it should dissappear after a couple seconds as it boots and goes into dos. After not having much luck with a downloaded XP pro, I used the recovery disk for the Novatech which managed to install XP Home on the c:\ drive of the HP everything worked just fine. Last night I wanted to start again and install XP over the old 98se. Recently someone wants to use the HP - I thought id try to clean the windows 98se up abit using some anti virus software - it ended up deleting alot of the windows files. I had many problems with viruses and such - the hp recovery cd disk would not work to reinstall windows again so bought a new Novatech pc preinstalled with XP Home 2 years ago. I have 5 year old 'off the shelf' HP Pavilion 8695 -specs:ĪMD Athlon 750, AMD 751 Chipset, 20.4gb ultra DMA Hard drive, CD-WR drive, DVD-Rom Drive, Floppy disk drive.
