EX WORK PC

[shady77]

The place where the mrs works have got rid of a load of old pcs.
she's been given one, and they havent removed windows 2000 from it.
ther is no bios password, but my xp disc wont boot up. also my disc formatting tools wont boot either.
anything i can do?

You could try putting an old win 98 cd in and trying to get to a dos prompt and fdisk and reformat it like that

thanks m8 but ive sorted it now. for some reaon it would only read disc if i entered 2000 and then restarted. weird.

[Bulld0g]

Weird m8. Glad your sorted now :)

on a lighter note, ive downloaded and am installing windows microxp 0.82
Windows MicroXP 0.82 eXPerience [Operating Sistem - 1CD - ENG] [www.tntvillage.scambioetico.org] : Software > Windows - Other - Mininova (http://www.mininova.org/tor/2001333)
it installed on the above machine in under 10 mins!
its only 99.9mb in size.

[Bulld0g]

Any obvious differences between that an a full os m8

[shady77]

yeah. its just xp with nothing! just an os, only english language pack only basic drivers. no pre installed apps. nothing. you can then add any xp compatable s/ware. its basically. your system, your way! :)

[Bulld0g]

Sounds like somethingicoud use ;) I might give that a go m8.
