Subject: Defeting Crappy Bios
I have a compaq computer I got for $30.00 and though a good price, has a
really awful bios feature that not only only
There is nothing more that can be done in the bios as far as adding the
cdrom etc. It is how it is and my only options right now are to figure out
how to install linux after booting to a win98 floppy. :(
I also fdisked the whole disk, so most of the bios features required the
hardrive stuff

I have a compaq computer I got for $30.00 and though a good price, has a
really awful bios feature that not only only lets me boot to a floppy it
won't boot to anything but a windows boot disk. I hostly can't explain it,
but that is the state of things, so don't ask :)

Compaqs tend to be problematic. I've worked with several (starting in
1984 with an 8086 DeskPro) and have run into problems of some sort with
every one. If you can get to the BIOS setup, possibly you can
configure it to boot to a CD-ROM or hard drive. Try hitting the F10
key during the boot
