I got the "DiscWizard Starter Edition" from this website:
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/...s/discwiz.html
It was the first one to come up after a google search.
For some reason the disk image brought me to a "page not available" so I downloaded the CD image instead (ISO). I burned the huge 4MB
file onto a CD-rw, and booted the laptop with it. Sure enough right under Disk Maintenance there was an option to remove "Dynamic Drive Overlay" from the disk. It gave me a few warning that it would erase data on the drive and this and that. Luckily there was also an option to put DDO back onto the drive (why would anyone actaully do that though?).
It took a whopping .5 seconds to take the DDO off with this Seagate program.
PS. I'm now sitting at the Windows XP desktop with my new Laptop!
PSS. I spoke with a Compaq technician for 1 hour, and got absolutley nowhere. I feel bad for the guy because he seems smart, but he was held back by all those "rules" those tech guys have to follow. He had me set the bios to default, install windows another 3 times, turn it off for 10 seconds, things like that. I finally just told the guy I found a program that said it would remove the whole program.
He responded with saying he would e-mail me the direction to remove the program. I really do feel bad for those people.
