BIOS Updates forum

I have a presario v2000, and the hard drive disappears in bios. I tried a different hard drive and it does the same thing, after a hard reset it will detect the hard drive and then when I try to reinstall windows (xp) it will give a bsod and the hd will be gone????. Not sure what to do, any info would be great!!!!!!


model # presario v2000 v2410ca

Is there any harddrive that works in this machine at all?

if you have one with a stable windows install you may want to flash the latest bios:

if not it's time to bring it to a HP/Compaq service center. Oh and some of these have a bad battery pack, there's a recall program for it.
