[Sheflug] Laptop

Dear All
 
My Compaq laptop went a bit funny a week or two ago and Sterling
Management have replaced it with a USI Aries computer which is superb
and also somewhat better.  These notebooks are made by....
 
http://www.usi.com.tw/

it's a 233MHz machine with 32Mb of RAM and a 3.2Gb hard drive.  Very
nice 12" screen.  Sound and CD-ROM/floppy.  One year guarantee.  Even
the PCMCIA network
card works.  Only thing I can't work out is the modem card.  Something
wrong in there :(

The only issue that's going on here is that when I installed SuSE 7.0
it wiped out the hidden O/S2 partition.  I think that was the one with
the utilities in it.  But, I can put that back in with YaST.  Only
thing is I can't work out how much room I need. There's also the thing
about which file do I download from the site
above.

I've got a CD-ROM with a file in it called....  'HDPREP' that might be
the one that I'm looking for.

Anyhow ca anyone make any suggestions about what to do with this ? 
The manual that came with the machine didn't say anything about a
hidden partition and I didn't know anything about it until I'd deleted
it.

Thanks
