I just bought a refurbished H8-1214 as well and the overall rating is 5.1 and that is due to the Graphics card Radeon HD 7450. I wonder exactly what HP had to do to all these desktops to consider them all refurbished? Many places are selling them but I bought mine from WOOT.com for $499.99 last...

All I can give you are my exact figures for 2011 from one of my larger web sites: MS Internet Explorer 61.6 % Firefox 12.8 % Google Chrome 7.9 % Safari...

I sent the laptop in on April 6th and got it back exactly 7 days later. They installed a new DVD player and since there was a note indicating that I had already did the Recovery, they didn't touch my hard drive. I don't know many repair facilities that could have a turnaround in just 7 days...

I finally had to send the ASUS laptop in but not until after I performed a Recovery and wiped everything off my drive as required by ASUS. Of course, it didn't fix the DVD/CD and they finally gave me an RMA # and I have sent it in. Thanks WyomingKnot, I believe your right about the...

Asus gave me specific instructions on doing a Recovery and then seeing if that would fix my problem. I did email back and said that I would prefer just to have them send me the DVD unit and I would put it in. Their reply was; send me a copy of your receipt and they would give me an RMA#. They...

ASUS said because my dvd drive is not reading to do a recovery. The drive spins when you insert a DVD but it doesn't read or recognize it at all. I can take the dvd disc out and put it in another computer and it works fine. I think it would be easier to replace the DVD Player rather than...

PaperDoc, Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the fix for my problem. I did install Partiton Magic and with two clicks, it added the Unallocated space to Drive C: and now I have the entire 320GB hard drive available. Thanks Again!

Actually, I built this about a 1 1/2 years ago. I installed the ASUS M2NPV-VM motherboard and the drive is a SATA 320GB 7200 RPM Segate. I just upgraded the bios and this computer has XP Pro SP3. In the bios, it recognizes the drive as a 320GB. However, when you look at the drive size in XP...

I have a similar problem, I have a 320gb hard drive and it only shows 137gb. They said to upgrade the bios. I did that and no change.
