internet log on issue!

Hello, I just recently bought a computer from the GOOD WILL(DELL"dimesion xps pro200n". And there are a couple of things that has got me stompped:First, it's running two hard(well I know one is for sure)drives. Second ,the computer will not boot up if I disconnect this odd looking hard drive, and try to run the regular hard drive from SLAVE to MASTER. Ok, my question is,how can I delet or bypass this CONTENT ADVISORY when trying to log on to internet(it asks for a password),because its not allowing me to access.

 

Are you sure that the other so called drive is not something else that was installed for security purposes by the previous owner? It sounds like you may have to wipe the drive and reinstall the OS if there was a security device like a hardware version of "Deep Freeze" installed on the machine.

 

Ok, I just took the odd looking hard off to take a look at it;it certainly a hard of some type,(only having 3.2gb)but has no normal 9 pin jumper slot, this one only has three. So, I guess my question is how do go about wiping the system clean. thanks for your help

 

Just wondering...your other "hard drive" isn't a security dongle of some sort is it? Can you describe it?

 

The regular "hard drive", is a" western digital AC418000". I think believe this the hard drive thats running the "windows xp home". hope this helps

 

Take a picture of the culprit in question so all can see. I am kinda curious. Also are there any manufacturer markings on the device that was plugged in? Also was this piggy-backed onto the drive, or plugged into the IDE cable also?

 

the culprit was plugged in and the western hard drive is slaved to it.No pic avaulable

 

Ok Guys, this may be of more help. I just hook the computer up to see what operation set up. After the system set it promps to select "win xp home" or "win nt work station" or vga mode. hope this helps
As for the going into the registry system; After clicking on the "Ratings Tab",the"key' icon refered was not there what was in its place was a "Default"folder, so I stop.

 

Are there any manufacturer markings on it? If the drive was plugged into it, sounds like a hardware version of "Deep Freeze", or security device.

 

If there is a 'deep freeze" is there a way around it?

 

No, due to it involves wiping the hard drive. Also if the piece that was piggy-backed onto the drive (sure would like a pic or to know what the manufacturer markings are like I have asked three times, so a search can be done as to what this do-hicky does) was some sort of encryption or keylogger, that would also like to be known.

 

IBM oem

RATED:5V 300mA.12V 200mA
P/N : 46H3441 3.2GB

Hope this will help. I have tried installing xp pro,but the system would not take:said the windows operation(win xp home) running is newer than the xp pro I was tring to install, and would not except the key code.

 

I am coming up with 9.5gb SCSI harddrive and IDE drive, so definitely it may be a harddrive. Most likely also because it is saying that the OS is newer is most likely it already has SP2 on it.

 

No,It should be 3.2. IBM> modelAQA-33240 E182115 V;but there's still the issue about how to disable the"content advisor". What I done is went into "IE">Content. It is disabled,and when tring to enable it,the promp comes up for pass word on it also. There has to be some way to to disable.

 

You have to go into the Registry and disable Content Advisor like Halo stated in order to disable it.
