258018 2004-08-04 03:02:00 I have built a Computer with a Compaq 5716 Motherboard (Compaq 686S1).
IT works in both Windows 2000 and LInux however on booting Error Code 1782 comes up. I then have to push F1 to boot.
Compaq site has not been much help. Tried a Softpac on site but no difference,
Can anyone help

"Hard Drive Circuitry Error
Run Computer Setup
Replace the HDD"

Time coming up for a new HDD?

It can indicate major problems in the HD controller or a drive. But it can also be a "silly". Double check that you have the right jumper settings on your HD.
