Hey,

I have to get a file off the C: of a machine in work with XP pro. We dont know the password for login and if we dont get the file it means a lot of damn typing for some poor girl!! I know i cant use my trusty windows 98 boot disk cause it is a NTFS and wont see the C:.

Any suggestions guys?

Bodhi.

i know you can use knoppix, if you have a fastish internet connection you can download the ISO

Hello, I can help you I have format my PC yesterday : Xp to Win98, and I used NTFS me too I could not format.

until time I find a program which converted NTFS to FAT32... this program is : Partition Magic 8.0 is a easy program to Partition, and convert NTFS to FAT32.

Good Luck with your problem !

Thanks mate, but i cant start changing the partition. Its a work computer. It is just one file i need to retrieve. Its cool, it is probably more hassle than it is worth to get it.

How does knoppix work and it may be a stupid question, but what does ISO stand for?

Is it file it which you misses !

Because if you it is it and that it is a file sys, dll, or...

I will be able to send it to you!

Can be If have the file you miss

No mate, its not just a system file. It is an important document. If you want i can post you the hard copy and you can type it up for me so i have it on soft copy if you want?! ;-)

you download the ISO (image of a CD) and burn it to a CD in nero, then pop it in the CD drive and it should boot into knoppix if the boot sequence is set to CD first

Ah, i see. So is knoppix just a boot disk basically which lets you see NTFS drives?
