And be more specific about the Presario if you can - the boot disk that is built by the WC 2.1 CDROM works fine on my wife's circa 1993 Compaq Presario 425 with 12MB memory, 250 MB seagate and a DX475 overdrive chip. I went through a full install to an external SCSI drive on a Soundblaster SCSI-II. -- Peter Dufault Real Time Machine Control and Simulation HD Associates, Inc.
