Hi Omar Revueltas,

Thank you for the solution to the: Compaq evo "BTX Halted" error.

It worked for me 100%

Just:
- [F10] to get in to the BIOS
then select
- Storage
 - Device Configuration
  - CD-ROM
   - Transfer Mode
and change setting to = Max PIO

Save and Reboot the machine and I was cooking.

Thanks again.


Andrew Butler
