what is sure:
compaq deskpro needs new system partition (new bios). i downloaded compaq rom-image, diagnostic tools and firmware upgrade and put it on diskette.
Diagnostic tool says "disk controller failure"
firmware upgrade grades firmware up (without comment)
setup - accessed through the diagnostic diskette, asks to boot machine and reports "cannot find ntldr" after reboot, even with hd untied.
i did format the disks under w2k and nt, but compaq progs emulate dos-format before installing.
If a boot with w98 start disk this problem does not occur, still it displays the error message "hard disk failure i can use the hd with other pc´s though
what is sure: this is really putting my nerves blank!
