<<< The question is, does the special Compaq partition need to be there,
and why? >>>
I do not know whether the machine is "pre" or "post" hp-compaq (to be honest I am not sure this is the correct answer.....) but it rings a bell!

" HP partitions the disk as HP wants instead of how the user
wants.
and to recover
the disk space HP's "Recovery Partition E" uses up, I had to Install HP XP,
delete a bunch of garbage, including Norton Anti-Virus 2002, Wild Tangent
(HP admitted that they "kept costs down" by selling space on my disk to
advertisers), etc.,
Now I'm
wondering if I might have removed something that would have allowed Word to
install correctly.
Oddly, just yesterday, I received
notification about a class-action lawsuit against HP for the "Recovery
Partition" thing."
