Porn images? Why have something difficult to trace? Why not just use encryption.... Eliptical Curve and then we'll see how easy it is ;-)	Chilling_Silence (9)

280720	2004-10-13 21:24:00	Thanks Murray P - I tried the Snakefoot website u mentioned - but it still requires me to use the install-CD to boot from and Bill won't let me do that. I can only get into bios setup.	swan (2648)
280721	2004-10-13 21:29:00	Dear Pete O'Neil re yr reply: >So what are you actually asking for help on? Getting your old windows >installation back so you can activate it and learn from your mistake?" * yes that would be good! > Getting your old windows installation back and bypassing windows >activation? * I have no objection to activation - it WAS activated - if "activation" *means being able to update it from the Windows website on may *ocassions. >Or do you want to reinstall windows? * that would be OK too - if only I could boot with my WinXP install CD	swan (2648)
280722	2004-10-13 21:30:00	Swan, If there is nothing important in there that you want. Fdisk start again, or put H/D in another unit as slave and see if it is readable, maybe bill has wiped the MBR/Partition table. I dont know what happens when activation period expires. Perhaps someone will tell us. D.	drb1 (4492)
280723	2004-10-13 21:32:00	Dear Potus: in response to yr info - >Are you aware that you can Activate without registering? *I'm not sure I understand the difference - can u explain pls?	swan (2648)
280724	2004-10-13 21:40:00	Dear drb1, Thanks - re yr advice: >If there is nothing important in there that you want. >Fdisk start again, or put H/D in another unit as slave and see if it >is readable, maybe bill has wiped the MBR/Partition table. * how do I get Fdisk onto a floppy from my laptop XP machine? * I can't find Fdisk in my laptop Windows directory! * maybe its on the install CD? * I CAN make a bootable floppy on my laptop	swan (2648)
280725	2004-10-13 22:00:00	I'm intrigued that you can't boot to CD. I'm not aware that non-activation of Windows would or could stop you booting to CD. Check that you've set up your BIOS to allow you to boot to CD as the first boot device.	POTUS (5276)
280726	2004-10-13 22:31:00	When you fail to activate the OS it instead boots to an activation screen asking if you want to activate via modem or telephone,if you have a connection it simply dials up ms and takes care of bizzo.....takes about a minute....or you ring them and the automated system reads an activation number back to you. Never seen what you appear to be experiencing.....	metla (154)

First check what potus said what is first second third ect boot device in bios I was puzzeled by this. is the drive shown in bios? If there is no change there you need a win98 boot floppy or even a linux boot floppy to boot into something and have a look at the drive the partition table mbr ect. and see what is happening. > * I can't find Fdisk in my laptop Windows directory! > * maybe its on the install CD? > * I CAN make a bootable floppy on my laptop Your talking to us so you have computer acess if you dont have win 98 c/d or sys available you can d/load one from severall sources. www.bootdisk.com the 98 updated to work to 64 gb is a good starter.
