A Friend has given me a drive he bought with a laptop. The drive is locked 
(the ATA Specification of Locked - Firmware, not Laptop BIOS)

Is there a way I can boot to the Floppy drive without it requesting the 
harddrive password? (Currently it looks at the HD first and asks for a 
password; even though the Floppy is set to boot first.)

I have a utility that should be able to clear/remove the password if I can 
get it to boot.
