The flash recovery diskette is used when the System ROM is corrupted and a normal ROMPaq diskette will not work because no video is available. The flash recovery ROMPaq overcomes this situation by using a combination of system beeps and system LEDs to communicate with the user. The diskette contains an image of the 09-23-97 System ROM. HOW TO USE: 1. Obtain a formatted 1.44-MB diskette. 2. Download the SoftPaq to a directory on your hard drive and change to that directory. The file that is downloaded is an executable with a filename based on the SoftPaq Number above. 3. From that drive and directory, execute the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to insert the formatted diskette in a drive to create the diskette. 4. After the diskette has been created, you may delete the SoftPaq file downloaded in step 2. 5. Detailed instructions on how to use the flash recovery diskette are in a README.TXT file located on the flash diskette. Copyright 1997, Compaq Computer Corporation. All rights reserved.
