Compaq NX6325 ACPI HELP!!!

it is not possible, HP have said you cannot turn it on or off. But it is ACPI compatible.

Are you sure you don't have any power savings type screens in the bios? That would be rare in my experience.

It is possible because the guy I linked to - I don't think he was making up what he was talking about. I take it at face value that his machine was working well, like he says.

Yes, there is not a single power saving type screen in the Bios.

Are you trying to do an "Upgrade" install from within Vista? I would not recommend that at all.

You need to do a clean or "custom" install from bootup.

That may be part of your problem.

Nope, just trying to do a clean install with either VISTA or 7.

Think this laptop might be screwed. Doesn't seem to think its a laptop.

You're just giving us bits and pieces of information.

Are you trying to do the clean install from boot-up?

Please give us as much info as possible.

You got nothing to lose by making a USB install key with Windows on it. Then try to install from that. You can Google how to make this USB key. There's many links.

Sorry, i thought i was was being clear.

I am trying to do a clean install, with either Vista, or 7. Both are coming up with the same error.

I have made one before with XP. Will give it a try, think it will give the same message but will try it.

You didn't answer my question... are trying to install from boot-up from the DVD drive?

Setting your DVD drive as the "First Boot Device" in the BIOS and then put in the disk and rebooting your computer.
