Password change/error message
A friend just called with a problem on an older laptop running 98se. He had used it previously for his electrical business and was changing the logon/password info. After creating the new logon name, he was prompted to reboot. Did so and got an Error message: invalid system disk. remove disk.....blah, blah, blah. There are no cd's or floppies in any drive. Cannot access Safe mode. Any ideas?

Have you tried booting with the optical / floppy drives unplugged?

Problem solved. He's not sure what he did but he spent some time using his boot disk/help file and got it to work.
