The children probably know what they are doing it's the older ones that think they know what they are doing that is the problem.

Re: A friend needs help installing Windows
They also bios lock PC's so that if stolen it's harder to access the bios system to allow you to change the boot up sequence.. you can't re-format a stolen pc and load up a new operating system very easily if it will only boot from the C drive and the accounts on that are password locked
Believe me, if your mate buys a cheap laptop from someone who is not quite legit then it can take a bit of effort to get the laptop running again

Completely off-topic, but your sig doesn't appear to display properly here. Unless it is meant to look like the the top half of some Hindi or Arabic writing.

As Scott says - it's meant to look like that - and it's not Hindi or Arabic. But it IS writing.

Allright. Spill the beans will you? If your anal probe prevents you from disclosing the information, just knock twice
