I am running windows xp pro. WAS, and a friend of mine decided he wanted all administrative rights to acces my machine via terminal services. I said no and deleted his log on from the welcome screen He got mad and did something, which resulted in disk boot failure, please in sert valid system disk. I tried to access the CMOS but had passworded it and forgotten, tried all the backdoor passwords and removed the CMOS battery for 24 hours and replaced it only to result in no power WHATSOEVER, bought a new power box still no power ( by the way this is legit, you can check out my credentials at www. babesdownunder.com, the website I designed) so I cannot change the boot sequence in order for my pc to boot from the floppy to access the boot disk. I have another pc with ME and FAT32 and i know that FAT32 will not see NTFS as i tried to set the NTFS as a slave just so i could fdisk....have hooked up the NTFS drive to the other machine and booted it with the XP boot disk, but no partitions were found!! Why is this ....please help as I am going crazy!!

What kind of bios do you have, I'll find you a program that will reset the bois. I've had to use them before and they work, I just need to know who made your bios.
