Booting-up

• 1). Insert an Ophcrack LiveCD into your computer's CD drive.
  
  
• 2). Open the "Terminal" program on your PC. This will load the black and white MS-DOS prompt.
  
  
• 3). Type "/home/tux/launch.sh" and hit "Enter." Ophcrack should start running. If you get a response, "No partition containing hashes found," go to Section 2.
  
  

Identifying the Windows Partition

• 1). Type "fdisk - 1" into the DOS prompt to see which partition contains Windows. Write down the partition name when it comes up.
  
  
• 2). Enter "su" into the prompt; this is short for "super user." If you are asked for a password, the password is "root."
  
  
• 3). Enter "mkdir /mnt/ntfs" into the prompt.
  
  
• 4). Type "mount /dev/" with the name of the partition containing windows after the "/", followed by "/mnt/ntfs".
  
  
• 5). Reboot Windows if Ophcrack does not load. Open the Terminal application and enter "mount -o force -t ntfs-3g /dev/" followed by the name of the partition containing Windows, followed by "/mnt/ntfs".
