I installed daemon tools and apparently I did something wrong in the process. Anyway after the normal reboot it asks, the computer came up and before I can do anything BSOD appears and obviously reboots the computer. I need to somehow disable daemon to open up with the computer but all I have access to is a limited account.

I tried already going to the registry in the limited account and messing up the binary of DT under Run, doesn't work it doesn't let me modify data... msconfig wont work since it will only affect the limited acc... so anyone with any idea :(... anything will work.

I haven't tried safe mode yet because I don't know if it will still try to mount the drive... If you think safe mode will work... let me know.

You mean just the admin account is BSOD'ing?

Well boot up with Last Known Good Configuration (by pressing F8 on boot). It should work then and then you can just uninstall it from there?

Or try the same with Safe Mode or Selective Boot (and skip every driver it asks you for the latter).

If none work, use your limited account:

Try this in the command prompt:

runas /profile /env /user:Administrator "regedit"
Remove Daemon Tools Run key.
Then reboot.

If it still crashes upon reboot:

Go in to the recovery console (use WinXP install disc) and try this:

listsvc
Now find Daemon Tools in there somewhere or d347bus or something similar. Might be StarWind iSCSI Service too.
Then use the disable command with whatever text you found like this
disable d347bus
or
disable "Daemon Tools"
or
disable "StarWind iSCSI Service"
depending on what you found in listsvc.
Then reboot with exit. Just boot Windows normally.

Good luck.
