Hi Shaun. Well I have been contemplating the jfw authorization scheme for a while. I will probably try to dig up some debug util and try to analyze the floppy disk sectors for anything that may be traced back to jfw. I say this because my friend bought a dell a while ago, and he figured out that Dell puts a compressed image of the system on a specific disk sector on the hd, so he had to use debug or something similar to remove it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shaun Oliver <shauno@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Monday, April 01, 2002 5:09 AM Subject: RE: partition magic > On Sun, 31 Mar 2002, Jared wrote: > > > Its a hidden system file that resides in the boot record I think.
