	There is probably a fix, but you may never get it from the
	dealer/compaq weasels.
	Try to do the switch while the system is still booting
	(you may or may not have to wait until you are past the hardware
	tests and actually booting os/2; try a few times)
	I guess since it works in does and not os/2...
