RE: [OT] Compaq Armada 1592DT

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Been there downloaded that, installed that, followed the directions on
the tin and it failed!

Interestingly, elsewhere on the Compaq site in the FAQ or tech. docs.
(I've rifled through a LOT of it) it has a reference to this problem I
have but not a solution. It appears to FDISK that there is no DOS
partitions at all and yet to the Compaq setup stuff it looks as if
there
is, strange really!

Yet, what a crap way to do things!!
