labtop compac armada.its saids non-stytem disk..

I`m I missing something..I got win-pro2000..I think I saw a PW on that labtop before I the damn thing for 300..

did my friend leave a password that he cant remember.I ask him how many ppi`s used it..he said 3..so I`m stuck here...

cant get rid of a password..should I BUY A XP...to solve this.

 

Is it a BIOS password or a Windows password? If you want a fresh installation without everyone elses crap on it I would suggest a clean install of Windows. I actually prefer Win2K to XP anyway.

 

thanks..I`ll see if I can get an xp version..

 

An illegal copy won't work if it is intalled on mre than one PC. XP is a horrid OS install at your own risk

 

thank,dude.I`m gonna reset this piece of junk .

 

Heres a question. If I have win xp. Then I let my friend install it on his computer and he registers it with my name. Will I get shutdown or have any problems?

 

You will have a problem if you install it on more than one computer. It is necessary to get another copy for each computer you install it on.
