Hi, I am having a weird problem. The first problem was that I could not remember my password. I kept randomly entering possible passwords, none of which worked. I turned the laptop off for awhile. When I started up again, and the Login Screen came up, the password box, and all other...

Working on a customer's system running WinXP Home, doing Virus/Malware removals, etc. Cannot access SafeMode, or any Mode; will not allow me to do anything at all. It just boots into Normal startup. Also discovered that I cannot access the BIOS, or BOOT Menu, to set it to CD first boot. Is...

That is what I did in nLite ( Bootable ISO, copied XP, added SP; but I could not find a way to make nLite find the Drivers. Only thing I did differently, is that I selected 'Create Image'; so that was most likely my problem. I have no Floppy Drives, so cannot get Drivers into an F6. Thanks...

Burn Aware did not work with the compilation I had made in nLite. Will try to do the whole thing from start to finish in Burn Aware. Moonraven
