    Hi

    I have a packard bell R1802 notebook running on windows xp pro sp2. I use a usb dvd writer (Lg GP08NU20) .
    I it switched on this morning after I switched it off last night. When I try to logon (also in safe mode) using any of my accounts (all administrator, including the default administrator account ) I get a "Logon Message " stating "The local policy of this system does not permit you to logon interactively ". How can I logon into windows? And I just realised I can't use my dvd writer to load another XP as the system doesn't recognise the disk.
    Help please

    Have you tried Advanced Options Menu>Last Known Good Configuration it will take you back to the last time your pc was working properly ! ;)

    Further to rustyjack's suggestion, does safe mode work?

    So the computer will not recognise a CD in the drive, correct?

    There is not really any way to get anything done to fix this if you cannot even boot to an XP CD, aside from taking the drive and slaving it to another system to work on.

    Unless someone knows of a USB flash drive program that can read NTFS volumes and bypass permissions.

    Ubuntu can be run from a flash drive if propery configured. Maybe this will work.

    @ collins: Xp cd can't be recognised by my dvd writer

    I have a usb casing to make my drive an external, so how would I go about if I was to use my hdd as a slave?

    So, you notebook didn't come with a cdrom/dvdrom drive in the first place?!? Or is it not working?

    Have you tried booting without the drive connected?

    Is this a laptop on a domain?

    The laptop isn't on a domain.

    I tried booting without a drive but nothing happened

    It's original dvdrom isn't working.. (Unless such knowledge is helpfull, can we not lose track of my problem please )

    I tried booting without a drive but nothing happened, by nothing I mean that the system kept on restarting

    If you have checked the bios boot options and it hasnt helped to set it to the dvd drive, then:

    You can make a bootable flash drive then with Linux.

    http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

    Download something like Ubuntu from ubuntu.com and then use unetbootin to make a bootable flash drive.

    This assumes your BIOS supports that.

    What I found is this:

    Looks as though the Local Security Policy has been changed. The above article does give a couple ways to fix it, though Solution A would be most applicable:

    I really appreciate your efforts but it seems like some people didn't even read my statements.

    The solution I posted quite clearly fits the description of your problem, as a change in the Local Security Policy can stop ALL users from logging on:

    As to being able to fix it, you need to be able to connect to the problem computer via network, or maybe stick the drive into a working computer and follow the instructions:

    Outside of that, I'm not sure what to tell you.

    Ok, I see. Thanx. I'll surely try that and get back to you if it worked or not

    Thanx everybody for your efforts and all your posts. I finally fixed that as Tux_Rules suggested.

    Thank you all.:)
