ok i was reading the artical about cracking the windows SAM file and tried to do what it said. I put in the version of whoppix I have and I opend a shell councle. The proceeded to use some commands. cd / to get to the base files. But when i try to go to cd c:\windows\system32\config to copy the SAM file it wont let me. For some reason I cant get into windows directories. All i can access is stuff from the cd.

Okay you have a simple problem, In linux it's not c drive, so C:/… doesn't exist.The easiest way to go about this to Conquerer rather than konsol. It should be one of the icons along the base line. Then navagate through HDA1// I believe it's called. Here read article my for a step-by-step although it seems this is what you used because I recomended Whoppix. But make sure to copy the SYSTEM file also!

I thought the system file was to large to copy to a floppy? and know wonder i couldnt get it. I was looking around on it last night and found hda1 but never really looked into it. Thanks for your help. And I love my whoppix. got hooked on it from h2h.
