How do I data fatory reset an hp compaq nx9600

Try pressing [F11] repeatedly on Start-up, to access the Factory Recovery Partition.....

However, PLEASE note that you will NOT find Windows 7 drivers for your laptop if it is that old. (confirmed, HP only supports XP on that model.)

IOW....*IF* you could manage to get win7 to install on it, it is HIGHLY likely that parts of it would not work....video, network, cardbus slot, audio.....all of these would need windows 7 drivers to work properly.

you would likely be able to see a monitor image, but not be able to change the resolution much (stuck at 800x600) and the others....would be hit and miss. and if your network adapters (LAN and WLAN) did not work, I'm not sure of what use it would be to you.....

This is one of the pit-falls in Laptop/Notebook ownership. Although some models have lasted through more than one OS, they are a tiny minority.

Hello, I need help upgrading my video card. I have a Gateway E-2500S intel pentum $, 2800mhz. , 200mhz external bus, windows XP. What is a good gaming Graphics card for this system? model #. thanks

Pentium 4 allows for a lot of leeway.

Try this card for price and also you can call Tiger Direct and they can guide you to their deal of the day. But at 20,00 how to beat this? Still ask them - they have a lot of deep discounts.
