Sorry to not fill in the information about the computer, but i don't know as it's not mine.
The problem is my friend's son
apparently
tried to install windows 98 on their computer, but instead of removing windows 98 originally from it he just added it to the HD. (sorry about the explanation this is all that i got told)
Now when you start up the computer it says
loading printer( fujitsu blah blah blah)
loading mouse and keyboard
loading Hard Drive
it then doesn't do anything
I went into the set up but a password just came up.
Sorry about the sh**ty explanation, i could try to find out more of what happened if it's needed.

If the
PASSWORD
box popped up when you went to access the
BIOS
then you
will need
to
ASK
the
owner
what it is .. pretty simple ..

no, it was the black screen when a comp. usually starts up and "password:"
appeared at the bottom.
The owner has no idea what the password could be, if i just installed xp on the comp would that make it any better???
