hi guys,
im trying to get this 1999 P3-450 compaq system up and running nicely..
ive aquired some restore discs from archive.org..but how do i actually do the restore process..
i have been into the f10 bios and looked if i can boot from the cd but it only gives A or C..
what i found a little strange was that this machine didnt have a diagnostic partition on the HDD but it let me into the bios anyway.. this is different to the older compaq i was recently restoring..
ive searched the cds to see if there are some instructions there but didnt find anything.. i did find a make boot disk bat file but when i booted from that it gave "non system disk or deisk error"..
when in the f10 bios i didnt see any options for restore there either..
i am at an impass... any hints guys..
