I have a laptop that was thrown out with other rubbish in a cleanup. It is running NT and is password protected, but it works. What i want to do is format the hard drive and install windows 98 so I can use it.
I have a Windows 98 boot disk on CD but can't boot from this disk.
I got into the bios screen by pressing F10 and got the option of changing the boot disk, but when I pressed ok on this option I got a message saying the pc wasn't able to do this.
Like I said, the laptop was in the garbage. All I want to do is get rid of what is on it. I got into dos and tried to format C drive, but I was not allowed to do this either.
Any ideas on how I would be able to delete whatever is on there and start again.
Thanks.
