Motherboard not booting :(

[Swafe]

With or without Windows XP self booting CD Rom, I get this message





What can I do, with removing the disk I still get it, even with the only other drive being my hard drive, which is blank?

[BUFF]

haven't left a disk in your floppy?

[Swafe]

didnt have a floppy drive attatched - ive sorted it now tho, problem was althought id turned off the floppy boot in the bios, cause i didnt have a floppy drive present, i didnt select it not to search for a floppy, which for no reason caused it to stall, seems to hve worked ok now tho ta

got a new problem tho lol installed win xp sp2 and it comes up with the login page with the default 'administatro' and default blank password field, pressing enter, or escape doesnt work, and i didnt set a password when i installed it? :S

Did you use a slip-streamed disk ?

[Swafe]

Yup, is there a differnce?

[Agent]

If you didnt set it to auto-login then you probably set one on the slipstreamed disk.

It will be in WINNT.SIF, on your x:/i386 under the [GuiUnattended] heading.
The string you want is "AdminPassword"
If no password is set, it will be "AdminPassword = *", otherwise your password will be there

Cant find guiunattended, closest I have is guitrn and guitrn_a - both of which are unreadable in notepad

Do you mean on the hard drive or the CD rom? Im trying to CD rom as I cant get onto the hdd, unless I put it in my other PC which is hassle but Ill do it if itll work

cheers anyhoo

[Agent]

It should be in the CD.
Try unattended.txt - although you should be using the .SIF method.

[Agent]

No swafe, just realise what you said. Read my post you wally

Open WINNT.SIF, the heading will be in there

[Swafe]

hah... just found it cheers agent, i must have missed out the winnt.sif part
