How can I bypass a windows hard drive password?
My sister got a divorce from her husband and she gave me a hard drive with windows XP that she had with him. Thing is that her ex husband had changed the administrators password before the divorce. My sister wanted me to try to extract all the pictures on the drive before I reformatted it. I have tried to go through DOS Prompt and keep getting an access denied to any sub directories in the drive giving me access to only the root directory. Is there any way to bypass the password for the drive so I can move the personal files off of it before I format it. If not she says no big deal but she would love to have the many years of memories back.|||It is possible to recover or reset the Administrator password.Another option is to boot from a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Knoppix and back up your files to another storage device.

How to fix USB HDD to Linksys WRT350N Router problem?
Pick a hard drive, any hard drive (tried 3). Connect it via the USB port to the Linksys WRT350N router. Any media files that are transferred to this hard drive will have the attributes changed to %26quot;System Files%26quot;. Then, when you scan your PC for media (media player library) or when you use the PS3 to scan for media (media sharing) it will not recognise the media files any more.
However, if you access the files via mapped network drive, and you double click the file it will open just fine. File extensions remain mp3, avi, jpeg etc... only the attributes change.
Also, in the router...when it indexes the hard drive it will not correctly name the directory. Select the MP3 folder for example, and it will display that the movie folder is indexed instead. WEIRD. Any file that is copied to the HDD connected to the router gets corrupted in this way. Of course, you can -S it in DOS but it reverts anyway. linksys is stumped too.|||well, this is interesting... i never thought an HDD drive can be directly connected to a router... better watch this thread....

To all who know about cmd.exe-how owuld i do this?
what commands would i replace with the originals listed, if i wanted to delete some files...n stuff
1.) First if you have another account other than the system administrator and you can bring up the Windows command Shell which is cmd.exe then your ready.
2.) To open cmd.exe just click on the Start button and click RUN
type cmd.exe once you%26#039;ve done that then your in.
3.) go to the system root directory by typing %26quot;cd\%26quot; without the quotes, next type %26quot;cd\windows\system32\%26quot; OR %26quot;cd\winnt\system32%26quot;
depending on where the Windows [stuff] are located.
4.) once you see system32 at the end of the command line. (warning! here comes the hard part).
5.) start by typing %26quot;mkdir tempdir%26quot; without the qoutes press enter
next type %26quot;copy logon.scr tempdir\logon.scr%26quot; also %26quot;copy cmd.exe tempdir\cmd.exe%26quot; again no quotes, press enter after each line
(type help to understand what you are doing)
6.) next %26quot;del logon.scr%26quot; deletes original logon.scr
7.) next %26quot;rename cmd.exe logon.scr%26quot; renames cmd.exe to logon.scr
8.)%26quot;exit%26quot; quits dos
9.)Now what you have just done is told the computer to backup the command program
and the screen saver file, then edits the settings so when the machine boots the
screen saver you will get an unprotected dos prompt with out logging into XP.
Once this happens if you enter this command minus the quotes
%26quot;net user %26lt;admin account name here%26gt; password%26quot;
If the Administrator Account is called Frank and you want the password *SHEET* enter this
%26quot;net user Frank SHEET%26quot;
10.) and this changes the password on franks machine to *SHEET* and your in.
p.s: dont forget to copy the contents of temphack back into the system32 dir to cover tracks
11.) Now log off the machine, logon.scr is the screen saver that will kick in after 15 minutes of not touching the keyboard/mouse at the logon screen. Wait 15-20 minutes and a DOS prompt with FULL SYSTEM rights will pop up, then just to
C:\%26gt; net user administrator %26lt;newpassword%26gt;
and then log in with the new account.
Try this, might work, as long as he didn%26#039;t change default permissions on C:\winnt and C:\winnt\system32 you should be golden.|||What exactly is it you are wanting to delete that you can%26#039;t do with good old windows explorer?|||you going to mess you computer up if you don%26#039;t know what your doing.

Microsoft's Windows XP Spyware?
am hoping to start a discussion about the ntuser.dat file in XP. This would be located in the C:\Documents and Settings\username directory. It%26#039;s a file that is supposed to maintain the registry settings. However it can grow to tremendous sizes. It continues to grow even if you do not change the registry. Being the curious type, I had to find out what is in this file. I tried opening it using FileAlyzer (from the makers of Spybot) but it would not open as it was being used by another process.
What I had to do was create a new user account for myself with admin privileges. At this point I noticed the ntuser.dat file in the new account is only a few hundred kilobytes in size. Then I began the process of deleting my original user account. During the user account deletion process, you are prompted whether to delete all of the users files or to save them. I chose to save them. The user account was gone, but the subdirectory was still present in the C:\Documents and Settings folder. Directories such as Application Data, Cookies, User Data, WINDOWS, etc were still there. But more importantly, the ntuser.dat file was still present. It had grown to over 5MB. I tried opening the file with FileAlyzer but it wouldn%26#039;t open. Even though the user account was gone, the file was still locked by another process!!
To take care of this I had to restart my computer and enter %26quot;Safe Mode with Command Prompt%26quot; in the Administrator account. Using DOS commands I was able to unhide ntuser.dat and then rename it ntuser.txt. After restarting the computer I was able to open the file with FileAlyzer.
I found listings for such things as keys pressed, windows opened, window sizes, resizing of windows, scrolling positions, addresses, files opened, files saved, registry changes made, programs opened, links, etc. I am not sure if all keys pressed are retained in the file (such as typing an email or a notepad document). In FileAlyzer, strings are in a left frame and are very brief. Double-clicking on a string takes you to its location in the right frame, which shows both the hex dump and text. However, a good portion of the text was coded as if you opened an executable in Notepad. But program names and file names were easily read. I have read elsewhere that this file also stores such information as passwords, form data, etc. In essence, the file contains a complete account of what I had done on the computer since I started using Windows XP.
I%26#039;m just wondering how others feel about this type of recordkeeping being done by Microsoft without the knowledge of the user, and if anyone has any other information about how this file is used by the operating system.|||Wow. I don%26#039;t know much about the registry, but that was some good research. I%26#039;d like to hear what M$ has to say about that.
Edit to answerer #2...
a) paranoia is a moot point if your comp is keylogging every stroke since day 1.
b) it doesn%26#039;t look like a standard cleaner like CCleaner, Gould or ATF Cleaner cleans ntuser.dat (But as I said I don%26#039;t know a lot about the registry, so I could be wrong there.)
c) any mention of a firewall is irrelevant to this question. The point being that MS is making the user vulnerable by storing this info without our knowledge to begin with. If it wasn%26#039;t there (or if we could get rid of it) we wouldn%26#039;t need to worry about it getting out.

XP install w/out cd problems?
My CD-ROM is awful, so I%26#039;ve been trying to reinstall xp without using it, as it often flat out refuses to recognize discs, next to misreading data and being generally unreliable. After researching some, I%26#039;ve made a 2GB FAT32 partition on a smaller harddrive I have. I then copied the I386 folder over into that partition, as well as smartdrv.exe. I booted into DOS using an old WIN98 floppy, and ran smartdrv, and then navigated into the I386 folder and ran winnt, as per what my research found. It extracts/copies everything fine, and then tells me to reboot and take the floppy out. This is where my problem is.
I reboot, taking the floppy out, and then get an error telling me the boot failed. Something along the lines of %26quot;previous boot option failed, change the boot settings in BIOS, or press another key to try again etc etc etc%26quot; This happens on every single try. So I change the bios settings to boot first from the harddrive, then the floppy: same error. I try choosing the boot from harddrive option from the floppy, it fails. The files have been extracted as far as I%26#039;m aware, as I checked the harddrive%26#039;s directory from the boot, and it has several new folders.
So, how do I continue on with my xp installation? Do I need to somehow copy more files to make the harddrive bootable? Do I just need to run another program in the harddrive from DOS? I%26#039;ve looked and looked, and haven%26#039;t found anything useful for this part. What I%26#039;ve read suggests what I%26#039;m doing is possible, I just don%26#039;t know where I%26#039;m going wrong.
And please don%26#039;t tell me to get a new CDROM, that%26#039;s not what the question is about.|||Hi,Charles F.

I reboot, taking the floppy out, and then get an error telling me the boot failed. Something along the lines of %26quot;previous boot option failed, change the boot settings in BIOS, or press another key to try again etc etc etc%26quot; This happens on every single try. So I change the bios settings to boot first from the harddrive, then the floppy: same error. I try choosing the boot from harddrive option from the floppy, it fails. The files have been extracted as far as I%26#039;m aware, as I checked the harddrive%26#039;s directory from the boot, and it has several new folders.
So, how do I continue on with my xp installation? Do I need to somehow copy more files to make the harddrive bootable? Do I just need to run another program in the harddrive from DOS? I%26#039;ve looked and looked, and haven%26#039;t found anything useful for this part. What I%26#039;ve read suggests what I%26#039;m doing is possible, I just don%26#039;t know where I%26#039;m going wrong.
And please don%26#039;t tell me to get a new CDROM, that%26#039;s not what the question is about.|||Hi,Charles F.

Format NTFS hard drive to FAT32?
When I turn my computer on I get a message saying We apologize for the inconvenience, but windows did not start successfully. When I try to start Windows normally, my computer restarts itself and when I try to start in safe mode a bunch of multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)patron(1)\Windows messages fill up the screen. After I get those errors, a blue screen pops up for a second then the computer restarts itself. What I%26#039;m trying to do repair install windows by
1) Boot from CD
2) Select Start PC with CD ROM Support
3) Change to Optical Drive A:\%26gt;D: [Enter] where D: is optical drive
4) Change to Win98 directory (win9x for ME) D:\%26gt;CD\WIN98 [Enter]
5) Run Setup D:\WIN98%26gt;setup [Enter]
but after step 5 I get a message saying Cannot create a temporary directory. If you have HPFS or NTFS installed on your hard drive, you will need to create a MS-DOS boot Patron to set up Windows. I was told I would have to format my hard drive to FAT32. Is this true? How would I go about doing that in Windows 98se with DOS commands? Would I be able to do this without loosing any data on my hard drive?|||You%26#039;re describing a failing hard drive. The boot sector is corrupted.

How to create this batch file in DOS?
I need help creating a batch file in DOS for one of my classes. I have watched tutorials and asked my classmates and I still can%26#039;t figure it out. This is what is required:
(2). Create a file called 1.BAT in the A: root directory that will perform the following tasks:
1. Do not allow ANY commands to be displayed on the screen.
2. Change your directory to the root directory of the A: drive
3. Change your directory to the MYWP subdirectory.
4. Clears the screen.
5. Displays the contents of the file MYWP.TXT
6. Pause until user strikes any key.
7. Returns to the root directory of the A: drive.
8. Clear the screen and display the MENU.TXT file screen again.

Need some help with a DOS program GW Basic??
Okay, I%26#039;ll try to be as clear as possible.
I am working from a strictly DOS machine at work to do the company billing.
I export a file from QuickBooks place it on a 3.5 floppy and load it onto my DOS machine by using this command:

then
gwbasic
this loads the program I do my billing with.
I enter the imported file name PB0507.csv
I get path not found respons

I did c:\dir and I see QBXFER but it doesn%26#039;t have it as a %26lt;DIR%26gt; like some others are listed.
When I try to run a dir on QBXFER all it says is %26quot;1 file%26quot; and how many bytes it has.
So my question is I want to get this file into QBXFER because the GW Basic program is looking in QBXFER for the file.

How do I make A DOS boot partition?
I have a notebook which has no floppy drive, it has no CD drive as it recently burned out. Here is what I would like to do.
Place DOS Boot files on first partition (size 3GB)
Place Win98 Folder (ripped from my 98 disc) into this 3GB Partition
format the rest of the drive to FAT32
I would like to boot into MS-DOS from the 3GB partition, Change directory to Win98 and use Setup.exe to install 98 to the second partition.
This is not happening for some reason, I do not know why. Here is what I have done:
I connect the notebook hard disk to my PC via hard drive adapter,
Downloaded Win98 boot floppy image from bootdisk.com, extracted then mounted the image file and copied all the files onto the 3GB partition. I put the notebook%26#039;s hard drive back into the notebook and reboot, this should have booted off these files but instead it said hard disk has invalid boot sectors.
I then figured I would use a HEX editor (HXD) and copy the sectors from the floppy boot image to the first partition, after doing so the first partition was decreased in size to the size of a floppy, it contained the boot files and yet, still would not boot.
All of these things should work, but do not. I do not understand, how do i get this to work without floppy or cd?
Please do not say, buy a new *hardware name here* I do not have the money. It would be the best option no doubt, but in these circumstances I must do with what I have.
Please let me know why these sectors are not working and how to make them work. Thanks!!|||You should not have to fiddle around with a Hex editor - that will likely just get you into trouble. The main thing is, to make sure you have a bootable DOS partition and your BIOS directs the computer to boot from that partition. For more information on the boot process, check http://www.storagereview.com/guide2000/r鈥?/a>
Chances are, you simply didn%26#039;t have a bootable DOS partition or the BIOS was not set to boot from that partition. Otherwise your process (copying the boot floppy image) appears to be sound.

How do you change extensions in MS-DOS?
Working on a lab now and need a little assistence.
Heres the question:
The diskette has three COBAL files (.cbl and .cbf). Copy them into your new directory, changing the extension to .c for both files as you copy.
I know how to copy the files into the new directory but not sure how to change the extensions.
Thx for your help.|||to create directory lets say our new directory is %26quot;new%26quot;
c:\%26gt; md new
c:\%26gt; copy *.cb* c:\new
c:\%26gt; ren *.cb* *.c
Done.|||Use wildcards as follows:
COPY *.cbl NEWDIR\*.c
Extensions will be changed in the new directory.
hope this helps.|||It%26#039;s been a long time since I%26#039;ve used DOS but when you copy the files you should be able to supply a new name. So when you type the new name just type the same name but with .c at the end.

How to I change dos command prompt to a different drive?
I have a program that will only work from dos/command prompt but it is stored on a drive other than %26quot;C:\%26quot; that automatically shows in windows %26#039;command prompt%26#039;.
I know how to change directories etc but how do I change the disk drive from %26#039;C:%26#039; to %26#039;F:%26#039; or %26#039;G:%26#039; etc or do I need to load a dos prompt program or something into my F and G drives?|||Simply type F: in the command prompt, followed by Enter.
Example :
C:\Windows%26gt; D: (Enter)
D:\%26gt;|||odd?
i thought it was just a simple:
cd E:\
to change to the E drive for example just like changing directories
