A freind of mine wanted to get a cheap computer, so he talked to a school that was remodeling or demolishing or something like that, and bought his PC from the school for a mere $50.
Great, right? No.
See, there is a netword login, and he doesnt have a username.
We can't get ahold of the school, and so we are stuck.
I am using "WE" because i am trying to helm him out, i know more about it than he does.
I wrote a program that boots from DOS, and it changes the screensaver to a Command prompt - problem is, it doesnt recognize "C:\".
At that point, i thought i was stuck. But then, after messing with it - these output logs come up on safe boot;
its like, "partition(0)boot(0)" etc, i have it written down at home, im at school.
But anyway, those messages replace the "C:\". So i figure, if i can tell the machine to do that in place of "C:\" then it would work.
...except it doesnt.
Help?
