Compaq - no way to get files on it

Pages: (1/8) > >>

shorthair:

I have this Compaq presario 2266. Don't know anything else about it besides it has win98 on a 4 gig drive. I was thinking of seeing what I could do with it, mame-wise, but the usb port won't recognise my external drive, I can't link with my XP computers through the serial port, and not even the cd drive on it is getting power. Anybody have any idea what I can do here?

Thenasty:

repalce the CD drive, or your LAPLINK on the LPT port or through your LAN.

Bloinkxp:

Get a usb to HD cable for the notebook drive and copy the WinXP i386 directory on it.

Pop it back in and run setup...

-or-

Get a USB thumb drive and copy the i386 directory that way.



BobA:

For W98 you need a driver to use a thumb drive.   Probably the same problem with the USB HD.

I tried another cd drive. Nothing. And it's a desktop version.
