Master of Reality:
every linux boot disk i have doesnt work.
I have a Red hat 7.2, Mandrake 8.1, Slackware 8.0, Debian, FreeBSD, that NT password hacking boot disk. And i think that none of them will bot (the FreeBSD might, cant remember). It doesnt matter what computer they were made from, what computer  i am using them on, they wont work. It starts to boot: says "booting(or loading)......... initrd(or whatever the boot kernel thing is called)". Then says "boot failed. Change disks to continue".
Does anyone have any idea why they dont work???

How can i edit the registry from Linux if i have windows installed on the same computer? is there a way?

voidmain:
I was able to use that "chntpw" from my running Linux system to modify Registry Keys.  I would keep a backup copy of your registry files in case it screws up your registry though. Don't know why your boot disks will not work. That *is* strange. It's the kind of messages I usually see if the boot disk is bad, or there is a problem with the floppy drive.

hoojchoons:
Looks like a problem with your floppy drive. Have you tried booting from another machine?

Master of Reality:
i tried from four different machines.

voidmain:
So did they only not work on one of the four machines or did they not work on any of the four?  If they don't work on any of the four machine, how are you creating these boot disks?
