I have an HP Pavillion 8290 purchased in June of 1998 without any
decent documentation. (I did not know I should have gotten
that kind of thing.)
I'm in the process of educating myself about my computer, so I can
either fix it myself when the time comes or so I will know what the
paid expert is doing/should be doing if I have to turn over problems
to someone else at that time. My system says my hard drive is a
"QUANTUM Bigfoot TX12.OAT." When I input that info for a hard drive
search, I come up with 2: Bigfoot 1275 and Bigfoot 2550. Is my hard
drive either one of those? HP gives me NO information, and I haven't
taken off the cover to look at this point.
