    Reformatted and now my HP doesn't work.

    Solved it. Replaced the mobo with the EXACT SAME from a compaq i found, but it's revision 1.02 not 1.01. Apparently this "watermark" is F'd if the entire machine is switched around, diff HD and everything. Also, the bios battery must be removed for around 10 secs to reset CMOS on it and...

    Reformatted and now my HP doesn't work.

    hardware for hardware it has the same motherboard and processor as the one i yanked out of my dell. All that aside, this should not be an issue, and if it is, it's traceable to the motherboard, is it not?
