Hi

Compaq, generally (always?), keep the bios setup info on a small partition on the HD. My experience is that you will not get it to go. (because that info aint there no more :-< ) However you could try booting from the boot-floppy. Assuming your compaq bios defaults to booting from the boot floppy first.
