Believe me, it has crossed my mind. And Toshiba will not help me. It is out of warranty.

No, it does absolutely nothing other than show me the front boot page (with no options for the F keys) and then an all black screen that simply asks for a password.

I just tried that as well and it is still the same. Initial menu with nothing but the word: Toshiba on it, followed by a black screen asking for a password. No options for anything. And none of the F keys do anything. I never have the option to boot into anything. Thanks for your replies by the way.

I just tried that and nothing. It simply attempts to put in a ton of Zeros into the password entry spot.

Here is my issue:

I turn on my laptop. I see the word:

Toshiba

Then, instantly, I get this:

Password:

I have no password and never set one. I have no idea what happened to this computer and to be honest, I am so fed up with it I no longer care. I want to put a fresh copy of Windows 7 on this machine.

To hell with my data.

I cannot access any sort of boot menu; the F keys to nothing. All I get is:

Password:

What do I do?

Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

It was an adapter. I had to take off the casing and then it just poped right off. It was an IDE by the way.

If it has an adapter on it, how do I get it off?

I dont know. Is it SATA, or is it IDE, or is it some other sick combo of lettering? Please help me before insanity takes over.

Help me. I want to put this in an enclosure so that I can have another portable Drive. Help.
