How to use the floppy

The unzipped image (bdxxxxxx.bin) is a block-to-block representation of the actual floppy, and the file cannot simply be copied to the floppy. Special tools must be used to write it block by block.


Unzip the bd zip file to a folder of your choice.
There should be 3 files: bdxxxxxx.bin (the floppy image) and rawrite2.exe (the image writing program), and install.bat which uses rawrite2 to write the .bin file to floppy.
Insert a floppy in drive A: NOTE: It will lose all previous data!
Run (doubleclick) install.bat and follow the on-screen instructions.
Thanks to Christopher Geoghegan for the install.bat file (some of it ripped from memtest86 however)

Boot into Safe Mode, press Ctrl-Alt-Del twice really quick, enter the username of Administrator with no password. If you haven't changed this account or renamed it since setup, this should get you in so you can delete your password for your admin user account, then reboot to the Recovery Console and boot into it with no password.
