re: compaq armada 1750 boot up problem Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 2:33 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Peter Vattimo (1 messages posted) I believe if you hit f11 or f12 when turning the system on the cmos will reset to factory original --- which means you can boot from a floppy or cd ... You might try burning a live cd of linux (Puppy Linux runs geat on the 1750 except for sound -- sound is possible, but takes some tweaking). If your HD is dead, your system is still useable with a USB drive for storage. Good Luck !!! On Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 6:59 am, Steve wrote: >also make sure you don't have a Floppy Disk inserted.
