Hi,

I have two questions:

Foremost is my Latitude CPx that comes up with this error message while booting" drive 1 seek failure(DVD/CDROM). However, in XP device manager, It is recognised under "+Floppy drives" as the second floppy drive Instead of appearing under "+DVD/CDROM" which is conspicuosly absent. It also came up as the second floppy drive "B" in "My computer". That is the situation whether it is connected externally or internally. I have not been able to use it for any installation even though it was recognised and worked perfectly on a similar Latitude CPx. I have tried flashing the Rom with the latest without solution.

Secondly, How do I disable the password on the board of a laptop. A buddie sent one to me with the board passworded. I know I'll just diable the CMOS battery and the jumper, power up and the fix the stuffs back if it were to be a desktop. How do I fix this on this laptop.

Awaiting your professional and solution driven replies
