    Currently, I am running XP Home. I thought F8 would
    provide me a menu to go to Safe mode, but I am not
    successful. The folder located in the 2nd partition and
    that is formated as NTFS. Partition 1 (the OS drive) and
    Partition 3 is FAT32.

    How to get to Sate Mode as Windows 2000 Prof? Originally,
    there is no "Administrator" account. Do you mean the
    first unrestricted user I created?

    the built in Administrator account.
