My compaq presario f700 laptop says bootmanager missing when i tried the reboot cds its says cannot reboot from disc

You need to print this out-on someone else's computer. Hope it works for you!
Remove the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord from your Compaq Presario F700 laptop, press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the Compaq Presario F700 . This clears your RAM and is like a hardware reset. Replace the battery and charger/ac adapter/power cord and turn your Compaq Presario F700 laptop on.

Boot in "safe mode". As it starts up press F8, the computer ask you if you'd like to start in safe mode. Highlight "safe mode" and press enter. See if your laptop is booting up ok .

If your Compaq Presario F700 boots ok, do the following,

Try System Restore first,
Start Menu->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore. Choose the most recent date before you the encountered problem. If it doesn't work, try the next date.

If System Restore does not fix it, as a last resort, you might need to fdisk, reformat your laptop hard disk clean and reinstall OS, that usually fixes all bugs. Before going that route, try following,

Uninstall unnecessary programs and applications.

Scan with a antivirus program

Scan with a spyware/malware program

Clean up and repair registry problems with registry repair software of your choice

If the problem persists, did you check if it could be your Compaq Presario F700 laptop power cord or power source problem? Defective or insufficient power supply might cause error messages that are misleading. Take the battery out and power on your laptop with the charger only. Make sure your Compaq Presario F700 power jack and charger plug tip are securely connected. Did you notice the power jack loose? You can find laptop power jack on ebay. Fixing and soldering the power jack requires professional skill though. The charger green/blue LED should be on. If not, replace the defective charger. Compaq Presario F700 laptop battery charger, especially its power cord/cable, lifespan is limited and does not last forever, consider buying a lifetime warranty charger online from company like www.topmic.com

You will need to buy a recovery disc from compaq, contact customer support and technical department they may be able to sell you one at reduced cost. If that is not possible you will need to purchase a copy of windows, "not cheap" try www.ebay.com Type make and model you might find a seller that might have what you are looking for at a good price.

You can download the LAN and device drivers from theCompaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model laptop andthe Windows drivers you require and install them. Click on this link todownload the drivers: -

No.
Since the product key of the computer is updated in the motherboard, even if you try a different disc, it will ask for the product key.
If u are using the correct disc, it won't ask for any prouct key.
Also the drivers won't be compatible.

NOTE: There are options to use the same disc to install in both the computers but the process is really hard. If u are ready for that, i can give an outline how to do that.

there is nothing you can do, expect buy external sound card like i did on ebay for few $, this is hardware problem, normal problem with this model, sorry

seems that same System Files have been damaged. Try starting in Safe Mode or use the Recovery Console from the windows disk to repair the OS.

If you’ve installed Windows XP on Compaq Presario F700 or Presario F730 follow this simple step:
