Default Setup - CPQCM.sys missing

Hello folks,

Rod in 2002 posted a message which describes my problem exactly:
I am trying to access the setup utility from floppys created by

downloading from the compaq web site. This is on a deskpro 2000
5233mmx. There is no diagnostic partition on the hard drive. When I
load the utility and enter setup I get the message:

Compaq plyg and play device not found

Problem: cpqcm.sys is not loaded or is the incorrect version.
Probable cause: Computer setup cannot run without this driver.
Effect: Verify that the line DEVICE=(path)CPQCMSYS is present in
config.sys, athat the drive and path are correct, and that CPQCM.SYS
is correct version.

I checked on the 1st f10 setup diskette and could not find this file,

nor is it in the floppy's config.sys file.
I have some experience with these compaqs, but have never encountered
this problem. Does anyone out there know anything about this?

Anyone familiar with this problem?Neil
