Unknown device for compaq presario cq35-110 with windows xp pro operating system. audio not working.8 unknown device missing.

No problem ktotko, just download AND install the AUDIO drivers.

However I do not find a SR1758nx model.
There is a SR1750nx model, and a SR1755 model.

Could it be that the 0 or 5 looks like an 8?

[ Drivers are small pieces of software, that allow the Operating System to 'communicate' with a device.

Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7, are a few examples of an O/S. Operating System.

The audio chipset on the Compaq Presario's motherboard, is an example of a device.

People often download the drivers they need, but fail to realize that the drivers need to be INSTALLED also. Otherwise the driver files just sit in a folder, and are NOT installed ]

Hi John.

F11 process is not working and you get a NTLDR missing when you turnon the notebook.

Steps to be performed:
1. Perform hard drive self test from BIOS.
2. If it is passed then use retail version of operating system disk to install XP or try using new recovery disks which nay cost you $15.00.

In your notebook model this issue appears if there is any issue with the hard drive.

Hi,

Please give the correct model number of your laptop and select the Operating system. you will be directed for download of drivers.

Have you downloaded the Xp sofware update from the Compaq website? Maybe it contains the extra drivers?  If you know which audio chip(From manual,also downloadable for below) you could go to their website for the audio driver.

I also upgraded a new Compaq C751NR from Vista to XP, and the last yellow tag in device manager was-acpiHPQ0006

I used the driver from ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38001-38500/sp38171.exe

and used the 'setup.exe' in the folder. Worked perfectly.
