Solve : Windows XP restore issues? |
|
Answer» I have unfortunately a Hewlett Packard laptop PC and it's one of the same MODELS that seems to be giving problems to many people. It has WINDOWS XP Media center and came with recovery discs. I am trying to do a full recovery but ti seems to be taking foever. Is this normal for an HP the model is a dv 6108 core solo.As it's a somewhat dated machine the best thing you can do is LET it try to finish.... As it's a somewhat dated machine the best thing you can do is let it try to finish.... I guess it's either that or just install XP and then the essential drivers. I did download them from HP's website. I bought this PC from another person and they said they never did a system restore so they couldn't tell me if it was normal. I'll just do as you said and be patient. It looks like it will take about 5 hours to do a restore. Never had a PC that took nearly that long, but HP puts ALLOT of uneeded garbage in their restore discs. Thanks for your response.I've decided after the restore is done that I'm going to list it on Ebay. That's it for me and HP. Never again.I can't say i blame you. However once its running you may want to DLoad and run Everest Home and post a system summary log... Perhaps with not much cabbage being spent you could speed the machine up a bit. |
