Bought a ViewPad 1000 from local school district sale. The only problem is in order to log in it needs a user name & pw which was not supplied...what are my options in order to get passed this...Tried using an external HD via the USB to re-install Win 2ooo NT. The HD was not recognized at boot up. Thanks for the advise in advance! Sumu----
I think you are either going to need the docking bay or an external PCMCIA CD-ROM drive to reinstall either Windows 2000 or XP. Legally I believe you need to install a new OS anyway as MS does not allow the transfer of education licensed operating system from the original owner. http://www.viewsonic.com/pdf/us_eng/products/vp_guide_1000_10-22.pdf None of those options work?

Always get your drivers
from the manufacturer of your Laptop, Notebook or Desktop.
If you were to log on to the
manufacturer's
web site, usually one is able to download if
available, by model number,
All available Driver
downloads
as required.
If the driver is not
available, perhaps your manufacturer does not support the OS you are
installing.
This is the best way of ensuring up to
date drivers for your system and they are free of charge!
There
are no XP drivers to be found with Microsoft as XP is no longer
supported.
Some
manufacturers may have a limited number of Drivers still listed.
I hope this helps.
Login With the Administrator Account in Windows XP Professional
Click
the "Start" menu and then click "Log Off."
Click
"Switch User" when the prompt screen opens.
Press
"Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete."
Click
on "Administrator" when the "Log on to Windows" screen pops
up. Type in the administrator password, if applicable.
Click
"OK." You will now be logged in as the administrator.
Log On as An Administrator in Windows Vista
Start your computer and
allow it to continue through its startup process. By default your computer will
simply load directly to the primary user account (usually the administrator
account), but if there are multiple users on the system it will load to the
account login screen. Use the mouse to
click on the administrator account from the list of available accounts to log
on. This step is only necessary if you've customized Windows Vista with more
than one account or you have set the operating system to load the login screen
first. Enter the password
required in the password field to log on to the administrator account. Click the
"OK" or "Log On" button once you have entered the password.
This button may be labeled differently depending on the version of Windows Vista
or any GUI (graphical user interface) changes you may have made.
Log on as an administrator from within the Windows
Vista environment by clicking on "Start" and then "Log
Off." As soon as you have logged off, you will be returned to the login
screen where you can choose the administrator account from the available list.
