I have a couple of compaq armadas that had the original bios partition. In fact, the dignostic partition is not needed at all. I totally formatted the HDD to remove it and then installed Linux. No problems. I have a second HDD which I also formatted and then installed windows followed by Linux.

Hello, I just bought a used Gateway Solo5300 laptop and want to install Debain for my work. However, this laptop comes with minimum documentation. What I know is it's PIII600, 96mb RAM and 6GB HD. The screen is 12" and 800x600. Anyone has similar setup and with successful Debian installation?
