when ever it tires booting from the hard drive it requires a password for the hard drive. Do you mean it requires a log in password to log into the user account ?? If so, the HDD's not stuffed, just needs the password removed, or altered to something else.

Depending on the OS, depends on how hard it is to remove it.

The owner wouldnt reply to his emails, so he had to find another way of removing it.

Owner? Doubt it. Probably stolen...

With laptops you usually always have to flash in Windows, because they don't give you anything else but a Winflash program.

And probably why it was on ebay in the first place
