I tried to create a Linux rescue USB stick to try to work on a cool little PC I picked up cheaply at the computer show on Saturday. It is a Wyse Winterm V90, which comes with Windows XPe (embedded) it is on a 512M IDE flash card plugged into the motherboard. Unfortunately, I am unable to login to XP, as there seems to be a login manager (Saflink) for which I don't have the password.
but no problem, I thought, Boot Linux from the USB port and see if it can be cleared out. Well,my the USB stick I created boots on my laptop, and also on the winterm if I disable the IDE hardware, which is pointless, because I need the flash drive to be there. But it always seems to want to boot the on board flash regardless of the BIOS setting. So I am unable to run the normal Linux ntpassword removal tools. Is there a way for forcing the USB stick to emulate a SB CD-ROM or USB floppy, which might take preference over the onboard flash?
