Pressing F10 causes the Compaq BIOS to boot a NON DOS partition positioned in my experience as the first partition on the Hard Disc. If you delete the partition, you lose the ability to re-configure your BIOS. The Compaq partiton, last time I looked was a clobbered DOS / WIN3.1 concoction, probably Win95 now or mayne Compaq have now done their own thing and blown M$ out. You should be able to download images of the install discs to reinstate this partition, I would download these before you trash your disc
Why in the world do they want to do this? I don't see at all how such a proprietary setup makes their computers any "better." Does anyone know why they do this? Why can't they just have a normal setup? Remind me never to buy a Compaq! *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.
