http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/hpcpqnk/us/locate/63_6055.html\n\nThis is a list of drivers for that specific laptop availible for download.  While this does not address your soecific problem, it does, at least, give you a starting place.  I have searched for the recovery disc for it, but the size of the app makes it not possible to be downloaded... or at least compaq doesn't wanna mess with it.  Should I find one, I will update with the URL.\n\nThis is a link where you can order one:\nhttp://www.techexcess.net/hp-application-and-driver-recovery-dvd-374772-001-recovery-software.aspx

you should always check the manufacturer's website for drivers, typically in a support or download area.  You can also checkout http://www.windrivers.com an excellent =source for drivers. Once you get the driver, extract it to a folder and then when Windows asks the location of the file, point it to you new folder.

1) if it's a power supply issue, replace the power supply in the host machine.\n\n2)You can pull the drive and install it as a secondary internal drive in another machine.\n\n3)Buy an external usb or firewire enclosure, install your hard drive in it. And now you have the ability to connect that hard drive to any computer with a usb or firewire connection.

check your bios to see if the drive is being properly recognized. You may need to properly partition the hard drive, but that would be unusual if you are installing windows from this century.

Here's a link worth looking at.  http://www.driverguide.com/\n\nI've found compatible drivers for many different hardware products there.  Just keep in mind the Microsoft no longer supports Windows 9.X.  This means that hardware and software vendors no longer support the OS, so any thing you do is at your own risk.

Insert your Windows Operating System disk and reboot.  Check the BIOS settings if it won't reboot.   Once you reboot, begin the installation.  When it gets to the point of WHERE, select that partition for Deletion, then allow the installation program to format the hard drive.  \n\nIf you do not have the Windows installation disk, GET ONE. \n\nGood luck

You shouldn't need a separate driver if you're using Windows XP, ME or 2000.  The mass storage drivers are included in these operating systems.\n\nJust plug it in, and it should be recognized as an additional drive.
