Check on your system BIOS it sounds like an awful low amount of memory. You might hang up because of that. The way I understand it, you do not make it to the OS but hang up at the very initial screen when your computer starts? To access the BIOS tap on the F!) button when you see the Compaq screen when rebooting. Also, if I remember right Compaqs have an extra 8-12mb partition that u don't normally see called the diagnostics partition and it must be the first partition you put on. So if F10 does not work you are missing that partition.
What Compaq do you have like what make and model? Good Luck...got to love the Legacy devices and computers...
