I've put my HM250HI hard disk into my Compaq desktop what is the boot sequence

old PC day this
SAMSUNG Spinpoint M7 HM250HI (2009) 12 years old? (sata )"nos?)"no COMPAQ PC MODEL TOLD (LAST ONE WAS 2013)
AND VASTLY OLDER. NOt TOLD. even 21 years old.
the drive new in a box (NOS) has no OS,
is the goal windows, 7? or what?
do you have have install media.?

boot order is in BIOS. pages.
and HDD0 is the boot driver, top of list it boots first if you set it to first, in BIOS.
your PC is 2001 to 2013 made, 2001 is first PCs with hdd SATA interface ports.
HP bought compaq in 2002. so yours may be pure HP.
your PC has service tag that tells full model name.
the first step working on relics is
a new RTC CMOS coin cell battery it is due. or soon.
if not good the battery BIOS goes mad, and can not find boot drives.
and 128 other errors bios can not understand with a dead battery
so it is first. first.

new battery
in bios click reset BIOS to factory defaults.
set date and time in bios
set PXE to disable on all pages seen in bios. if seen.
boot order HDD0 first
click save, click exit and cold boot.

a compaq 6300 has the service tag on top front. edge
and product number too that tells all options it had day1.

we smart test the HDD first, ask.

My pc with windows xp doesnot recognizes my hdd hm250hi inside an external case usb, how do i fix that? thanks

One bad lead can cause a computer to continue on a cycle or to shutdown or fail to detect/ boot up a computer hard drive

Test all leads that attach to your hard drive including electrical extensions,IDE,SATA

the leads from your ((motherboard to your hard drive)) make sure they have a secure connection and are not faulty or just replace them there probably old and faulty
make sure all leads that are attached to your drives dvd\cd 3 1/2 inch floppy have secure connections and are not faulty even the electrical extensions or just replace them they are probably old and faulty a computer needs its connections to have an end so any faulty leads will end up with a computer error

I am getting an error message that says a SMART error has occurred and my hard disk will fail. When I press more information it says SAMSUNG HM250HI has failed and may crash at anytime. Disk defragment...

SMART is the hardware monitoring system that is put inside every hard disk. If it reports that the disk has failed then it has really failed - there is nothing left to do, copy (and nothing else or it will completely die faster) what you still can from it and junk it.

I bought second hand monitor samsung syncmaster750s..when i plug it the icons become blurry and become large and i cannot set my resolution...i use the vga mode because when i start it normally..it au

Normally if you go in VGA mode the screen will be installed and when rebooting in normal mode it will set itself.
In VGA mode the resolution is 640x480 and you can't set the resolution higher, so what you are experiencing is normal.

From what you are saying it seems that the driver installed from windows is the wrong one, you can try to run windows update to see if there is a driver for it or go on samsung website.

You can get the driver from samsung here :
Samsung 750s driver

If after that it doesn't work check on the internet for compatibility issues with your graphic card, since some of the newer cards can have compatibility issues with the older CRT screens.
