Windows Dual Boot Administrator Password?
I installed windows vista onto my computer on the same partition as my xp and
it moved everything to windows.old but, when I try to boot up into the old xp version, it asks for administrators password... What the hell? I tried all my password, none worked, I tried leaving it blank, that didn't help either... What the f' is up Microsoft?!? |

Windows Dual Boot Administrator Password?
From what I have seen, I would never put Vista on anything other than a test
computer or virtual machine. Even with a VM, I would make sure that I copied the base files to a safe place before even allowing Vista to attempt an upgrade of XP. If you want XP back, save any files you need, wipe the drive, and reinstall XP. "Help with vista,, dual boot, problems!" ft.com wrote in message ...

XP is no longer an operating system on your computer. "What the f' is up Microsoft?!?" They may be asking the same about you. |

Windows Dual Boot Administrator Password?
Eek, now I am sad... I can not get my old xp back? Vista has many problems
with programs like hackshield and mmorpg game clients. I've tried like 5 so far and they won't let me play it, like rappelz the mmorpg. I am really sad now, I don't have my old xp? That sucks, guess I'll just dl it. |
