I had an old Compaq PC laying around, it had a 4gig hard drive and I put in a Western Digital 20 gig, and formatted and copied the original hard drive. I know I didn't get the Compaq diagnostic partition copied. When I boot it always says to hit F1 to boot. It boots and seems to be working OK. My question is do I need to fix it , or is it OK this way?
