The light came on
the thing also wants my adminstrators password. I have tried a couple without sucess.
If you don’t know your password, and if a virus might be responsible, PLEASE restore using the method described above.
Just stop with this playing around. You are wasting time. We can’t tell you your Administrator password (try blank is what I can offer), and even if that worked, you have so many other issues yet to come.
1. Format your hard drive
2. Install Windows XP
3. Install your Maxtor Backup/Restore program
4. Restore from your latest backup.
