Hi,
I have another problem with my compaq portable. I was trying to setting up another hard drive in it. I couldn't find the right SoftPaq to setup my system in a right way. Finally I found the right softpaq, but I couldn't write over the settings. For this reason, a forum member told me that it's possible to overwrite the settings by switching a jumper. It worked but after rebooting I got another problem...
I cannot start MS-DOS anymore. I tried a lot of different MS-DOS floppy's, but when the floppy tries to boot, it stays on the message "Starting MS-DOS" and the floppy stops loading.
I found some guy on the internet with the same problem.. It seems like resetting the EISA switch is also a BIOS reset and the system has problems with reflashing itself.. Pleas also read this, it's exactly the same problem as I have: http://www.abxzone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14083
I really hope somebody can help. Thanks in advance.
