not bad.....i only have one box and it dual boots with freebsd and windows. unless its an older compaq, you should be able to see the sizes of your hard drive. if its a compaq, that would explain why you cant get a floppy (i used to have a compaq presario 7222 and it was a piece of junk. i think i still have the remains but it dosnt work so i stript it for parts, when the floppy went bad, windows was already gone bad and i didnt like *nix at the time) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
