Setup & Installation / Install on Compaq running XP
« on: 2008.01.10, 12:33:37 »
Hi
I am a Linux user, and have fancied trying OS2 for some time.
I have an old Compaq Deskpro, running XP, which cost me next to nothing of e-Bay. It runs XP very well.
I have a copy of OS2 V3 CD/floppies, and can not get the install to start, either in windows or from the DOS prompt. Alt-Cont-Del just re-starts XP, not the install disk.
I am not bothered about losing / damaging XP (we have not used Microsoft software for several years, and have no intention of starting).
Can anyone give me some advice.
Many Thanks
Steve B
