Using Asset.com from a BootDisk
Create a Floppy BootDisk, here are some to use:
http://www.bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm
If you do not have a Floppy Drive use a BootCD instead, here is one:
http://www.bootdisk.com/plan40/flashcd.zip
Here is some info on its creation:
http://www.bootdisk.com/txtfiles/flashcd.txt
Copy the file "Asset.com" to the new Bootdisk
Start your computer with the boot disk in the drive
Confirm your system bios is set for Floppy or CD as first boot device (depending upon what disk you created)
Allow the disk to be started and eventually to a command line
You should see a prompt, such as A:\> This is the command prompt.
On the command prompt type:
ASSET /o /d
This will remove the owner tag
