...And if the CD drive isn't working, download the floppy version...
Works a treat, assuming that your admin password isn't blank. Always
try that first...

Hi Mark
Don't know if this will help...If you download this boot CD, you can
reset your admin password (create a new one) and therefore log on?

I have used it in similar scenarios and it's worked very well.
Cheers
Dan

I need the accumulated wisdom of this astute group.
I put a fresh image, via corpnet and PXE boot, on a Satelite laptop.
Then I forgot the password I set. Guest account disabled. (thanks M$)
So, no problem, just put CD in drive, reboot, and reimage with fresh
install.
Seems that the CD is not recognized. No lights on the drive, no spinup
when disk is inserted. When I change the boot order to CD first, it
skips merrily by it, and boots from HD. When I boot with W98 boot
floppy, it seems not to see HD or CD, as it loads the ramdisk to drive
C:. Yes, the HD is formatted NTFS.
How can one determine if the CD is dead, or just has a cable loose? I
am not a laptop mechanic, but don't want to pay the Geeks $59.
Any ideas that I missed?
Tahnks
Mark
