Hi.

My friend got laid off from AT&T because of the new acquisition.

They sold the laptops to the laid-off employees for $200 bucks a piece.
Great deal.

It's a Dell Latitude.

It's on a domain and she has to log on everytime.

She wants me to reinstall XP onto it and reformat the harddrive so it's a
new operating system without her having to log on.

So, I booted off the XP cd and reinstalled, but she still has to log on.

Do I need to get a brand new hard drive? I can't seem to boot off the XP cd
and get the options that usually come up.. ie. format, make new partition,
etc.

Any suggestions?

Bryce.
