112951 2003-01-11 06:36:00 My bro has aquired the above notebook. We want to get into bios to make it boot from floppy. How do I do it? The Compaq splash screen comes up almost instantly on booting. wotz (335)

I also think the BIOS is actually a separate area on the HDD, not chip based?

112953 2003-01-11 06:57:00 Thanks GF. I will have to go and try that. I figured there would be a Compaq partition or something, but we want to add another partition. wotz (335)
112954 2003-01-11 08:54:00 The bios is not on the HD partition, but you can if you want install diags and bios setup program on the cpq system partion instead of using floppies.... Davonz (1474)
