Hello, I recently bought an old Compaq Armada M700 laptop. I have both the CD and floppy drives for it, but can only have one in place at a time. When I tried to install Ubuntu 7.04 via the CD I received from Ubuntu in the mail, it complained that my BIOS didnt make the cut-off date and it was "pre-2000". The problem is when I go to HP to get a new BIOS update, HP requires you download it for various flavors of Windows (only) and when I try to update using those the laptop complains ntldr, etc., is missing. I dont really want to fool with trying to install Windoze (dont have any CDs for that anyway) and I just want to get Fiesty Fawn installed. Are there any workarounds for this?
