Compaq Diagnostic Partition
Hey folks,
i just bought 2 Deskpro 4000 in order to use em for my network. well, i didnt know that compaq uses a hidden partition for its bios to save things, so i reformatted the whole hard disk for OpenBSD. Well, now i godda do several things (Power Management etc.) and can't access the bios (i know - F10..wont work). Well, i also tried the Computer Setup/VP and PC Diagnostics Diskette, but both computer wont boot from it. i also tried resetting bios, or unplugging the ide 1 cable, but they wont boot from floppy. i really dont know what to do. i really need to setup those computers for networking.. Thanx for ya help ---------------------------------------------- Posted with NewsLeecher v2.0 Final * Binary Usenet Leeching Made Easy * http://www.newsleecher.com/?usenet ---------------------------------------------- |
