| 1188184 | 2011-03-21 23:22:00 | Does anyone know how to disable the card reader in a Compaq Presario CQ62? It thinks its a drive and will not let you format the disk until its disabled. |

| 1188186 | 2011-03-21 23:39:00 | Its not where the manual said it would be so I dunno. A copy of puppy linux with dban that ignores the reader would also work for this but so far all the ones I have tried error out because of it. |

| 1188187 | 2011-03-21 23:53:00 | You may have to unplug it from the USB header inside the case Then plug it back in after. So, youre trying to completely wipe the hdd? |

| 1188188 | 2011-03-22 00:01:00 | Yes, its not booting up so need to format it to get it working. Its a laptop, not sure about opening it up to find the USB header. |

| 1188189 | 2011-03-22 00:28:00 | Oh probably not a good idea opening it then :p Remove the hdd then chuck it in something / a desktop then use dban or something. And unplug whatever hdds (that are in the case). In case you format the wrong hdd | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
