Geomancer626 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 While trying to reset a password on my home machine playing around I've been running into some problems with the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. After booting up, the only available drive it shows to manipulate is the flash drive itself that I'm running the program from. Can anyone offer some advice as to what my problem may be? I've experienced this on both machines running at my home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geomancer626 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Share Posted January 2, 2010 I should also mention this is part of my multipass usb. menu.lst is below. I just burned ntpasswd to cd and it worked fine. color blue/black yellow/blue timeout 120 title Kon-Boot map --mem /boot/floppy/konboot.img (fd0) map --hook chainloader (fd0)+1 map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook rootnoverify (fd0) title Offline NT Password & Registry Editor kernel /boot/ntpasswd/vmlinuz rw vga=1 initrd=/boot/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz /boot/ntpasswd/scsi.cgz initrd /boot/ntpasswd/initrd.cgz title Darik's Boot and Nuke kernel /memdisk initrd /boot/floppy/dban.img title Trinity Rescue Kit configfile /submenu.lst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWyvern Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I think that tool is a little dated, might want to try one of the ones off the new hiren's boot CD http://www.hiren.info/ I assume that the hard drive is connected via Sata and that may be the issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geomancer626 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Yes, the drive is sata. However, if I boot the tool from the cd I burned it works fine. So whatever the issue is, I'm fairly certain it's because of grub4dos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geomancer626 Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Okay, after quite a bit of experimentation, I finally got everything working perfectly. :) For anyone also having problems with Kon-boot receiving the message about running the configuration program provided by the manufacturer after running, my configuration fixed that for me, so give it a shot. color blue/black yellow/blue timeout 120 title Kon-Boot root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/memdisk.bin initrd=/boot/images/konboot.img map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook title Offline NT Password & Registry Editor find --set-root /boot/images/ntpasswd.iso map /boot/images/ntpasswd.iso (hd32) map --hook chainloader (hd32) title Darik's Boot and Nuke kernel /memdisk initrd /boot/images/dban.img title Trinity Rescue Kit configfile /submenu.lst title boot from hard disk map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) map --hook chainloader (hd0)+1 boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
