How can I get around the password login on Windows 2000. I would like to put Windows XP on this laptop, but I can't get it to boot from the installation cd or from a boot cd that I created. Even if I press F8 when it boots up, it doesn't give me the option of booting from a disk. How can I blow everything away and start over!
 
Have you set the BIOS so it boots to the CD before the c: drive?
That would be the first step.

 
No I haven't done that. Can you give me a hint on how to set the BIOS? Thanks!
