I think Jacques is right, but I would be very careful.

If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

HI qustions02,
With all due respect, what you're trying to do is like playing the Russian roulette. I would think twice before doing it. It can produce a very unpleasant outcome which may necessity repair reinstall of the OS. I doubt anyone at this site will encourage you to go ahead and do it. This is just my opinion.
