    Hey everybody,

     

    A friend of mine asked me to look @ his kidz laptops. He told me that windows would let them logon.

     

    Yeah, well when I booted them they halt. Asking for a password. Says that the HDDs are password protected.

     

    I asked my friend & he said that the kids didn't set this. I told him that if they didn't then the drive would be failing. But for it to happening on both laptops is odd & less likly the drives on both fail at the same time. So I told thim they must have set it. The kids swear that they didnt. So here I am just about ready to format the drives & do a fresh install. But I dont want to do all of that work I would rather obtain the passwords.

     

    I now that it can be circumvented just don't know how.

     

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

     

    dirty, ;p

    Soild Stae is great no matter what U buy it will B super fast. Ok. :D

     

    I think that U need 2 compare the read write speeds & how long they say it will last.

     

    That is what is going to make U happy in the long run.

     

    You want what is going 2 give U the most MB/s. I think 555 read & 520 write is par for a fast SSD drive, but who knows maybe there is faster on the market right  now that I don't know about.

     

    As far as the 1z U mention I was a big WD guy for a long time. But have had huge disappointments with 8 or 9 2TB HDD.

    I have been replacing them with Seagates. I like them because they run cooler than my WD drives, & so far they have lasted the test of time.

    So I say: Seagate

     

    I am in the market 4 a SSD drive myself & am looking @ either OCZ or PNY. PNY from what I compared reads & writes fast. OCZ last twice as long.[2 million HRS]

     

    Good-luck :P
