DJ,
with the closing phrase "bios", you've me shaking in my boots
With Windoze (at least after 98), I do everything possible to avoid bios. In the old DOS days bios, config.sys and autoexec.bat were a part of breathing.
The machine is an HP Pavilion 820n.
Last year on a complete reformat of the hard drive, a Standard XP installallation, ALL the HP crap was removed and a standard XP Home with necessary drivers was installed by a pro.
Here's the system info.
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600
OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation
System Name
System Manufacturer HP Pavilion 061
System Model PP165AA-ABA a820n
System Type X86-based PC
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~3201 Mhz
Processor x86 Family 15 Model 4 Stepping 1 GenuineIntel ~3201 Mhz
BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. 3.10, 11/12/2004
SMBIOS Version 2.3
The specs sheet and supplemental download sheet are crap.
I had to look on the actual DVD to confirm that the voltage was NOT 3.3, rather 5v or 12 to work with the IDE voltage.
Checked the DVD syst requirements and XP was included, with no mention of SP ver.
many thanks again for everybody jumping on this thread.
