| Ok I got a free Compaq Proliant 3000 from my school and it keeps asking me for the ROMpaq diskette. The school doesn't seem to have the disk so does anyone know where I could possibly find a free download for it? The server is so old it obviously isn't worth taking to a shop if I can't find the diskette anywhere. Thanks.

| After Press the power button and the jet engine starts up it asks for the ROMpaq diskette. Pictures, lemme get those later cause I have to go to school now. Sorry if I answered wrong, I have never used a local server so I basically am clueless. The only reason I have it is because it was free :P CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (HTT) Board: Dell Dimension 9100 (not sure what it uses) Memory: 510MB RAM Video Card: RADEON X600 256MB HyperMemory HDD: 160 GB Case: Stock Power Supply: Dell Cooling: 4 Fans Operating System: Windows XP SP2 | ||||||||||||||

| just go get ubuntu and completely forget about the joke rompaqs... it is a type of install process that requires to boot from floppies... you may be able to install win2000 or ubuntu to get around it. ![]() Thanks HL and Corsair!

| Yay, will it recognize it on a cd or does it need to be a floppy? I have never been able to find a floppy over 2mb.
