Title: Compaq vs. e-smith
Post by: Gavin on April 16, 2002, 10:10:41 PM

I am trying to install SME v.5 on a Compaq Deskpro.  I can't boot off the CD Rom.  I haven't tried off a boot disk.  Has anyone installed it off a similar system?

Thank you,

I would have asked the same question.  Yes, the CDRom is bootable.  I'll keep trying.

Thank you!

I was a dork.  All I needed to do was use a boot disk. Works great!
