@ zimdrill,
thanks for your contributions but i know exactly what i'm saying about using win98se to format hard drives that would not be formatted using winxp, win7 and vista, simply due to bad sectors on the drive which cannot be restored by running fdisk, there are situations in which hard disk cannot be formatted even when you used original windows xp or higher ones regardless of whether the corrupted OS is the same with the one you are using to try reformatting. when this happens, win98se has proved invaluable in forcing the hard disk to be formatted, load win98se and then you can upgrade to any of the desired OS.

we use this backdoor method with any hard disk that has too many bad sector for other windows bootable cd to remove. win98se will remove those bad sectors and formatt the disk and allow you to load windows98se, thereafter, you can upgrade.

What problem are you getting? Do you know if you can run matlab on windows 7? Have you tried running it in different OS compatibility mode?

senatorbc:

I installed VMware hoping it will run in side the XP there but failed.If you click on the mathlab icon it opens after initialising it6 disappears.

ZIM DRILL:

which OS is that

it always adviced to have 2 admin accounts i.e one which by default when install windows, and other you will create yourself

the one you create would be your account and the windows one would for administrative purpose eg getting in cases like the one you have

@ zimdrill,


i'm working on a toshiba tectra A6 model motherboard, the problem was that it wouldn't power up so i changed some ICs(integrated circuits) that were affected; the board now boots but stopped and started asking for a bios password that wasn't configured, i have tried almost everything i know about re-setting bios password on other lappies but they didn't work. for instance, i removed the CMOS battery for 48hrs but it didn't work.

i made some research and discovered some chips on the board which is responsible for holding the BIOS 'history'/record,
my challenge now is how do i 'short' the chip to clear the BIOS?
