I thought about that but I don't have the windows xp disk or another scsi hard drive laying around.
There was ALOT of stuff on the hard drive that I need (well realy want to keep)
I will see what sat holds for me, gonna help rollie with his a/c fix then I gotta get home so I can get stuff done at the house before I leave sun.

Just a random thought here, but what about knoppix?? You can set that up to boot from the cd, maybe I could get into my files that way. If I could get all my junk off the puter I wouldn't be heart broken at all to reformat the drive and start over
What yall think??

I've always found it easier to use the password cracker to get back into Windows. I've got some Linux repair disks that I've downloaded but finding one that can write to an NTFS partition is kind of a crapshoot. If you have to pull the drive or put in another disk, you might as well put it into another Winders box.
The password cracker I use actually does write NTFS but I don't remember it having any other functions like copying files, etc. All it does is change or blank passwords. Has a registry editor too that I've never been able to make work. The disks I have that supposedly can write NTFS and copy files, seem to be 50-50 whether they work or not. I could mess with them more I guess, but I've got a couple Win2K and XP boxes so it's faster and easier to just throw the drive in there, copy it off, wipe/reload the original and copy the stuff back over.

Mike, I might take you up on your offer when I get back next week, I was gonna call you this morning and let you know but my FTE contact list is on my outlook in my admin account that I can't get into lol.
Matt, let me see if I can get it cracked, If I have to start over I might get XP but I have been thinking alot about running this one with windows media as a server by the TV and just finding a cheap laptop to use for everything else but I don't know for sure yet.
