Got myself an ebay special Compaq Presario 12XL300 Laptop minus hard drive.

Armada - new HD - no BIOS by
bam
I understand I have to get some SoftPak program from HP's web site and
create a
small partition on the new drive to make a home for the BIOS.
Do I need to reformat the hard drive in order to create this partition, or
can I do it without affecting the current O/S and all my programs?
Thanks
