After FDISK/FORMAT, and reinstallation of Win95 on an older Compaq, how do you reinstall the Compaq Diagnostics? ( I have, and used, the Compaq Diskettes ( FDISK/FORMAT, Setup and Diagnostics ).
 
You have to install the disgnostic partition in front of the first bootable partition.
You reinstall by using the diagnostic disk, manage diagnostic partition , create partition. After you do this , you install the OS.
Possibly you could do this with partition magic by creating space for the first partition, but I've never tried it. Ed Fair
