Obvious questions...did you look in device manager to make sure is doesn't have any errors?...do you need to download the latest driver? You could always search on "HyperTerminal" on the web and follow the steps on how to test the modem. You didn't mention what operating system.

I have a Presario 5000 (model 5080US). I just had to replace the hard drive and restore the system SW (Windows ME). When I try to dial out to AOL, I get a message back that there is no dial tone. With a phone connected to the "to phone" connection on the modem and I lift the hand set and then...

COMPUSA...Western Digital 80GB IDE...$99 less tons of rebates for a net price of $29.99. It's a 5-day only sale that started yesterday...

OK guys...wanted to close this one out. I broke down and bought a new hard drive (80 GB for $29.99...what a bargain). Put it in and installed the QuickRestore CD...and everything is great. As I said be fore...I REALLY appreciate all of your suggestions and sticking in there with me. I guess I...

I did check out the Maxtor web site (below)and they do call for a ide66 cable. The type drive that I have is "style C" and the jumper is set for "cable select" already (shipped that way from Compaq and is the only setting it's ever had). When I installed it in my other PC, I used the ide66 cable...

I think I've got a bad HD. All of the equipment in the PC is original...HD, cables, etc...so everything worked at one time. I moved the HD to another PC and had the same issue...couldn't find the HD. New BIOS didn't help. MaxBlast couldn't find the HD...so it looks like a new HD may be in order...

I lied...I've been doing a bit of research on the HD. Please look at this site... http://maxtor.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/maxtor.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1327 Do you think the Maxblast3 utility might work to help reformat this thing? I do have the latest BIOS...so I could try that. I...

I to need to wrap it up for the night...but here is what we're working with...Presario model 5080US, 800Mhz Celeron, BIOS family 686C3 dated April 18 2001, Windows ME, 128MB RAM, 20GB Maxtor HD model D540X-4K hooked up into the primary IDE with an ide66 cable and no slave connected. I am now...

OK...tried to do the fdisk /mbr trick but still get the "no fixed disks found" message. It seems to know the C: drive is out there but at the same time is can't seem to find it. Any other ideas?

OK...after lots of putzing around...I do have ide66 cables and they are all plugged correctly. HD is master and CD ROM is master in secondary slot on MB. I had to once again remove the HD ide to get into BIOS where I changed the floppy to first boot position. Plugged in the WinME boot disk and...

Sorry, I was typing and working on the PC so I didn't see the updates from garebo and pcdoc4christ. Given that the fact that I now have been able to access BIOS and have this HD issue...I'm not sure the latest suggestion still applies?

Thanks garebo and amdathlonxp1984. I reset the BIOS and when I restarted, I got the post error "162 - System Options Not Set". It wouldn't let me have access to BIOS when I tapped F10, so I unplugged everything except the RAM...then F10 got me to BIOS. I reset everything, shut down, replugged...

I'm working on a Presario 5000. It won't move past the Compaq logo screen. F10 won't take me into BIOS..Recovery CD and QuickRecovery CD don't work. No beeps and no logo when I pull the RAM. Unplugged and reseated all connections..replaced the MB battery. Since BIOS won't even respond I'm not...
