Thank you so much for taking time to help me at times I have a bit of trouble with comprehending things because of being in a coma for three months so please don't get to frustrated with me ok anyway no I didn't tell compaq anything I don't like talking to them they were way to rude and I didn't know I needed to I just took out the 20 g hard drive and put in a brand new 40 g one that had no operating system at all so I really didn't think it would matter which program I put on it
