I have an old Compaq Presario CDS 962 with a dead hard disk. From reading various threads it seems the BIOS is held on disk, I've searched various sites and FTP servers but I'm struggling to track down the correct utility floppy image for this machine. Can anyone help?
Thanks
I don't have one of these machines so can't say for certain if the following is correct - this is all just based on information from the Internet Archive.
Compaq Presario 900 / 962 ROMPaqs and System Software as of 11 October 1999:
SP1363 - Personal Computer Setup (Version 10.06 Rev. E)
SP8886 - Compaq Diagnostics for Windows 95/98 (readme file)
SP9847 - Presario Specific Models System ROM Update Diskette (Readme file)
SP10245 - Personal Computer Diagnostics[/url] (Readme file
There are a bunch of other SoftPaqs listed for this machine here which may be of interest. All of them should be available from ftp.hp.com but if thats not working I should have it all on my FTP server in one of the following locations:
