General rule of thumb with dual boot systems... put your windows on first and then load Linux alongside. If GRUB sets up properly it will give you a boot screen at the beginning of the sequence that will allow you to choose op system to boot into at start up.

You could probably jumper it to make it constant on though I didn't see the sense in making the front panel inoperative.

Okay, first mistake was not to copy down the code that you got back. Granted I'm not sure if that is a one time use key or not (I've only had to call MS once for one of those). Second mistake is that the key on the computer is an OEM key and the version that you installed (if I have this right)...

The diagram is pretty straight forward. But here are the interpretations if you are having trouble with them. LED_alimentation = Power LED IDE_LED = HDD LED Commutateur_alimentation ATX = Power SW Connecteur Haut-parleur = Speaker Bouton de reset = Reset SW

Unfortunately with the 8250 case your best bet would be to get another case. Even a cheap one from New Egg would be a better deal than trying to work that Dell case. Doing a backward swap into a Dell case is a major pain in the ass. If you look at this thread where I swapped the guts out of a...

Go to intel's support site and DL the drivers for an I-845GV chipset it should have the ethernet driver you are looking for. IF not the broadcom driver from Dell should work.

And the CPU support from that same page.

From specs above: Support list The Compaq version you have may be slightly different but again I don't see where it will support a Prescott core.

Here is one I did last fall.. Haven't done final assembly on it yet but it shows some painting of the chassis inside. http://www.computerforum.com/161598-project-breathing-new-life-into-older-case.html

Anything I have found says that Northwood core is about all it will support. So I would forget about that Prescott. Being a Compaq, there isn't much you can do with the BIOS so unlocking it is pretty much out of the question.

In a word, No. Specs for your CPU. There might be a throttling feature in your system but it is not an overclock per se'. Description of the CPU family in general. This should give you a general understanding of the Core Duo family of mobile processors. I really can't comment on what...

Another utility that works really nice is System Spec. It is stand alone (you don't have to install it) and gives fairly comprehensive info on your system. When used in conjunction with this site: CPU-World you should be able to identify and and have all the specifications for that CPU.

Intel D865GLC supports AGP 3.0 (8X Speed & 1.5 and 0.8 Volt Only). If the visiontek card matches those specs then it should be fine. Make sure you have these minimums for the PSU - 300W or greater power supply recommended Available 6 pin power connector from power supply or included cable adapter.

Okay so if those numbers are correct it is the the HP board.. So if you are looking for a gamers machine you are better off replacing it. My mistake.. Carry on..

You say you have a dual boot system with ubuntu? Does it boot into ubuntu? If it does then does ubuntu read the entire drive? Both ubuntu and windows partitions? If you can read access the entire drive copy the files you need to a CD or what have you and problem is solved until you...

Pentium D is a socket 775 CPU. The HP listing is not the correct MB.

MSI boards should have MS-xxxx V.xx type numbers as the identifier. The number you provided is the C-Tick number: The only other ID this shows is an HP MB N1996(argon). Run PC Wizard from CPUID and it should tell you the correct MB ID.

Without knowing what MB it is this would be almost hard to diagnose correctly. There are some boards that use a "battery less" system. What that means is that even though the battery was on the board it was only used to keep the clock or some other CMOS state but it would not hold BIOS...

About as abandoned as it gets. A home that used to belong to an elderly couple who lived about 1/4 mile away. Abandoned since the fire 5+ years ago. Not very urban though. This house was located on the outskirts of a farming community.

With retail you can move the op system from box to box and MS doesn't care as long as the key is only active on one box or motherboard at a time. MS's only concern is that you are not trying to use that key on multiple computers at the same time. With OEM the license is for the entire unit...
