Hi!

My problem has two parts:

1. I like to boot a PC that is supposed to boot from hard disk, and
   asks for some kinds of passwd, from a floppy drive that has DOS on
   it. The system has been modified by some unauthorized person, and
   every time we want to boot the system it starts the initial steps
   of booting (it is shown on the screen), and then some weird symbol
   comes on the screen (there is NO request for entering any password).

2. The other system has been set up to perform a preset sequence of
   program access for controlling a robot. I want to access to the
   HD and change some batch files, to tune the system for the new 
   uses.

Thanks for any comment and suggestion.

Regards,
