SYMPTOMS
When you insert a PC Card in your Compaq Presario 1200-series laptop computer, you may receive a message that indicates MTD-0002 hardware is detected. Also, an unknown device named &quot;PCMCIA MTD-0002&quot; may appear in Device Manager.



CAUSE
This issue can occur because the default Phoenix Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) configuration creates a hardware conflict.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, disable the Sound Blaster setting in the Phoenix BIOS, but do not disable Onboard PCI Audio in the Phoenix BIOS. For information about how to do so, please view the documentation included with your computer, or contact your computer manufacturer.
