I have a much older compaq evo SFF computer that recently crashed on me. I had windows xp installed and it messed up, eh nothing new but now I cant get it to boot.
when I turn it on it scans the RAM, and then say "attempting to boot from C: ..."
it will say that forever, I've kept it on for 24 hours to test it.
so far:
PSU shows good w/ voltmeter.
Bios restored to defaults.
removed one RAM, no boot. then tried the other
HD jumper settings are correct, HD boots on other setups
no CD drive make it difficult to install OS'. cant boot up into knoppix to test mobo
any idea's?
