Dear Lizanne, To get to the recovery partition on your Compaq Armada M700, turn on the notebook and press F11 repeatedly until "Windows is loading files..." displays on the screen. Then, follow the on-screen instructions. If your notebook originally came with Windows XP or an earlier version of Windows, try pressing F10 to enter recovery instead of F11. Hope you may find these instructions useful! Best regards, Miguel L. Martins

Yes you do. Suggest use Magic JellyBean Keyfinder, and find the original product key code for the MS Office 2007 that was installed on your computer,http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder/Be aware that what you have may be a trial version. Expires after 30(?) days.It is illegal to post a product key for MS Office. (Because in essence you would be stealing the software if you got a product key, illegally)The product key code is installed on your computer, when MS Office is installed. What really happens is a hash value is assigned to your computer, that matches that product key.It can't be duplicated,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_valueI would suggest you use OpenOffice instead.1) Anything generated on a computer with MS Office, can be used on a computer with OpenOffice on it.2) Anything generated on a computer with OpenOffice, can be used on a computer with MS Office.3) IMHO there is No learning curve. The user interface is VERY similar to MS Office.4) IT IS FREEIt is Open Source software.http://www.openoffice.org/http://www.openoffice.org/product/index.htmlhttp://www.openoffice.org/product/writer.htmlhttp://www.openoffice.org/product/pix/writer-big.pnghttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_sourceRegards,joecoolvette

Bad HDD? Have you tried a system restore/recovery. Reboot, at preboot repeatedly tap the F-11 key try to get to system restore/recovery.If it's an old machine you may need to replace the HDD.

Computer does not boot up The problem maybe the RAM, it is faulty or just needs reseating to make proper electrical contact. Reseat the RAM and then boot up your laptop. If it still does not boot up then remove the RAM module/s and take them to your friendly computer repair shop and get them to test the RAM for you. Just like you sometimes need a mechanic to repair your car, sometimes you do need a technician to diagnose and identify the fault or faults on your computer. Not only does a good service technican have the experience to deal with this type of problem, they also have the equipment that allows them to look at things the average computer user can't see, and he has a collection of replacement parts that can be used to quickly test individual components on your computer.

Hi,I'm not understanding what the problem is. If the battery is dead, and you remove it, how do you expect it to recharge? Why would you remove it? So, you take it out and nothing happens.So? What were you expecting to happen?Before you do anything more, read the documentation that came with your laptop to learn how to care for your battery. The amber light usually blinks with the battery is running low. When you plug in the A/C adapter, the light usually becomes steady to indicate the battery is charging. At tleast until you remove it.Hope this helps. Please rate this repsonseRandy

Because Grub has to fit in a small space on the disk, there is no room for helpful error messages, but 'Error 18' translates as 'Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS'. In other words, your BIOS - which initializes hardware - is unable to handle a hard drive this large. Windows is able to boot because the Windows partition is at the start of the distro's disk, within the area handled by the BIOS. This is not a limitation of Linux, which hasn't even started to load, but your hardware. You would see the same problem if you tried to install two versions of Windows, say 98 and XP. There are a few ways to deal with this. If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_70466cb634a57543

Tip: If you are running Safe Mode because you cannot get into Windows, you may want to first try loading the last known good configuration.

To get into the Windows 2000 and XP Safe mode, as the computer is booting press and hold your "F8 Key" which should bring up the "Windows Advanced Options Menu" as shown below. Use yourarrow keys to move to "Safe Mode" and press your Enter key.

Note: With some computers, if you press and hold a key as the computer is booting you will get a stuck key message. If this occurs, instead of pressing and holding the "F8 key", tap the "F8 key" continuously until you get the startup menu.

Trouble Getting into Windows 2000 or Windows XP Safe mode- If after several attempts you are unable to get into Windows 2000 or Windows XP Safe Mode as the computer is booting into Windows, turn off your computer. When the computer is turned on the next time Windows should notice that the computer did not successfully boot and give you the Safe Mode screen

this usually happens when the computer is trying to boot from a disk that isn't a valid boot disk.if you have a floppy drive plugged into the multibay and a floppy in the drive, try removing the floppy.if there is no floppy involved, try to boot from your system recovery disks, as it's likely that the boot record on the hard drive will need repaired. your system recovery disks should walk you through the process.
