Totally unrelated question ,just thought I'd take advantage of a tech thread.
I have a Compaq(yeah I know)I want to do a clean install but I believe
compaq has the BIOS on a 2mb partition of the hard drive,
can I do it or do I have to use the restore disc.

I have a couple Compaqs that had the same setups..I blew away the partitions on them because you can download the rompaq's from compaq's site and expand them to 4 floppies for later configuration of the machine without the 2mb partition.
