madlogik Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Wow, So there I am with my boot disk (containing ntfs4dos), at home no problem, I put the drive in , boot from (usb) , and my autoexec.bat gets the windowssystem32configsam and system files.. no problem.. but I think I faced something I never bothered to look into before today.. I booted my key on a corporate computer.. but I cant get the C drive!! (ntfs4dos fails to pickup the partition) (no it's not just into another drive.. im not a total n00b thanks!!) so Is the drive encrypted? is it another partition? When I boot my (user) account in xp, I get the c: (ntfs drive) . . in the root there is a boot.ini but I know buttkiss about bootloaders.. can anyone shed some light on what I experienced? (cant get the ntfs partition from a dos bootdisk, even with ntfs 4 dos, when I can get it to work from home) ! thanks! -mad- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Windows 98 without a firewall is actually not too bad you just can't really afford to be an idiot about what you download... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renegadecanuck Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm thinking that the corporate drive is a SATA drive, and NTFSDOS just doesn't have the SATA drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbro69 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Um, first to say that stealing SAM files from a corporate environment = TOTALLY bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 madlogic i personally recommend using something like knoppix, it would probably be a better option than dos on a usb you could use fdisk to get the filesystem id for every partition on the computer i've never used ntfs4dos, but it's not really entirely unusual for people to have windows installed on something other than the first primary partition. So long as there is at least a primary partition that windows keeps a few files on, it is possible to have basically all the rest of windows on another partition somewhere else, it doesn't need to all be in c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlogik Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 yeah .. cauz I mean.. we are all paranoids... isint it why we search for the truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesstj Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Of course I am paranoid. Everyone is trying to kill me! When it comes to security though seriously why are we such freaks about it. What is so important that you can’t afford to loose? And if it’s that important why have you not backed it up yet? Its not like you have your credit card info located in a text file on your C: called robmeblind.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
