How do you install Windows 7 on your Compaq Presario 1692 Notebook PC, that currently has Windows 98 on it? (Win98SE?)
I would NOT.
Reasoning?
Primer:
Drivers are small pieces of software that allow the Operating System, to communicate with a device.
Windows 98, Windows XP, and Windows 7, are some examples of an O/S. (Operating System)
The optical drive (CD/DVD drive), audio, (Sound), graphics, and Ethernet, are some examples of a Device.
Let's go to HP Support, and look at the drivers available for the Compaq Presario 1692 Notebook PC, (HP bought out Compaq),
HP Support > Compaq Presario 1692 Notebook PC > Main Support page,
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?product=95231&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
In the list click on the blue - Software and Driver Downloads.
(Don't believe we can use the Ampersand on here. That's why I used -
and )
Takes you to this page,
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=95231&
On this page you are asked to choose your Operating System.
In the rectangular box that has - Select - in it, go to the right of the box, and left-click on the blue down arrow.
In the drop down list you will see that Windows 7 is not listed.
This means there are no drivers for your laptop, and Windows 7.
There have been many people caitlynbrean, that have installed Windows 7 on their computer, only to find that it will not work.
Sorry it couldn't have been better news.

If you've recently installed vista, compaq says the webcam will cease to function.
Here's the link to the driver to fix the problem.

To find the driver yourself goto compaq's website and search for Soft pak sp34746.

First, format the hard drive and make sure it is in FAT or FAT32 for Windows 98 install. Then do your partitioning etc and should work. If it doesn't, it is possibly a hardware fault.
Here is the site for the drivers for the laptop :

Is this the kind of drive that can be removed from the laptop? If so remove it and then re-insert it.
