I have a new dual-boot computer with Linux/Windows
XP preloaded on it. The Windows XP Pro is 64-bit.

I was transferring files from my old computer to the new
Windows, using PCMover, and only achieved a "partial"
transfer. The computer suddenly rebooted, and now it wants
my password!

I never needed a password with my previous version of
Windows, but now the new one won't let me log onto Windows
without one!

How can I access Windows, now?

I've tried the Windows 'repair/restore' function (whatever
it's called) by booting from the CDrom, but it wants a
password, too.

I've thought of reinstalling it from the CDrom, but I'm not
sure if Windows will behave properly and leave the Linux
partition alone.

Any help would be appreciated!
