How come my laptop, Compaq Armada m700, won't start up?
My Laptop turns on, but once it gets to the Windows XP loading screen, it restarts and goes back to the Compaq screen. And it repeats. This all started wehn i was about to shut it down by goin to the start menu, but it took too long so i shut it down by using the power button and the blue one. i cant even open up safe mode!

boot it in safe mode using F8 and then check disk for errors. (i.e. right click on C drive > tool and do it from there)

Don't Ever Press The Shutdown Power Button Just Wait The Laptop To Shutdown

Your computer either has a Virus or the boot files are trashed. You will likely have to do a Windows repair install at the second prompt or reinstall Windows fresh to repair it. Make sure you get all updates and patches from Windows update and install a good Anti-Virus after. You might have to download all the device drivers from HP/Compaq for your model of computer.

You're supposed to make the recovery CDs when you first get the computer. that way, you can do a factory reset. It might not be too late. If you can make the CD now, then do so. If not, see if one of your friends has the same model computer. My wife has a Compaq, which we need to reboot a couple of months ago.

My Compaq Mini Laptop wouldn't boot. Unfortunately, I failed to make recovery back up discs. Now I wish to restore it to its factory status but cannot. Is it possible to restore it online. If it is, where can I download the necessary program? Help please.

I haven't heard of any option besides the recovery discs. Unless you know someone else with a computer that has their backup discs. This also means that you may not get the same OS that you had at first. Sorry.

Not sure about the mini, but this is how to restore HP to factory settings. HP RESTORE. Vista and 7 ---- Start tapping F11 as soon as you switch on to bring up restore option. XP ------- Start tapping F10 as soon as you switch on to bring up restore option
