Terry, which doco specifically are you looking for?
I have installed Linux on a Compaq Presario 1615,whic is a P133,
so a bit later that your h/ware. When I took ownership of the machine
it didn't have one of these secret Compaq partitions, and I don't
know if it ever did. Anyway, it still functions fine. From what
I can remember, some of the older ones (like your?) possibly put
parts of the BIOS on this partition, and therefore wiping it IS BAD!
This is a laptop specific link, but it might help?
