I don't know if this is the right forum for this but here it goes anyway. A guy I work with inherited a laptop from his brother who passed away recently. He brought it to me to see if I could get into it for him. I'm no hacker/cracker so I haven't the slightest idea where to start. I asked him if he had the cd's that came with it and he has no idea where they might be. I used the zipslack distro to look at what was on the windows partition and it looks like all that it was used for was to transfer files to and from a Palm Pilot. I know the guy doesn't have the money to fork out on M$ overpriced OS so I figured I would do what I could for him. If there is nothing really feasable out there to do, that's fine. I just figured I would give it a shot.

Thanks
