I am trying to re-install W98SE on an old Compaq Pessario 2240.
This does not succeed, apparently because the Compaq hardware requires something special.
HP is willing to deliver a copy of the recovery discs for only Euro 38.50 but I would like to save money for my (elderly) client. (My services are for free).
The symptoms are a crash at the end of the installation (blank screen: _ cursor blinking at top left); start-up (normal) does the same; start-up (safe mode) works but does not show any missing drivers or other errors. Anyway, I am not very familiair with safe mode.
Can anybody help, please ?
Thanks
Rob
