This CANNOT be an undocumented BIOS "feature". First you got the computer to boot with the floppy. That would not have happened if the BIOS was protected. After you boot from floppy It is all text book. I would just format the sucker and clone it off of another lab machine. (Easiest and normally student labs not have data on them anyway) Also did you ever consider that it was someone outside the school?? To prevent this in the future. Take out the HD and buy and network. That's what Va Tech did . It works pretty well. -- | What if life was | Richard Lee | | | an EtchaSketch | 1711 Whipple Dr. | rlee@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | | and GOD decided | Apt 11 | | | to start over | Blacksburg,Va 24060 | rlee@earth.tjhsst.edu |
