compaq presario EZ2200 (Will not boot- need to keep data)
- Thread starter dreman
- Start date
Put another disk in it make it the master (jumper)
Make the existing disk slave (jumper)
Leave the existing disk (slave) unpluged and install the OS. Get the system running stable and shutdown power off.
Plug in the existing disk (slave). If the disk works you will be able to copy your data, if not. Call OnTrack in Minnesota. They specialize in getting data from dead hard disks. If this is business related the business insurance may pay to recover the data. They are expensive.

Samulelma:
Thanks for the response.
I had to utilize the compaq restore disk (Which I really don't like). it had to erase all my data but I got it finally up and running.
My personal experience with Compaq had been always very stressfull. I will never ever buy a compaq. DEll is the way to go.
thank you.
