    Guys just bought a cf19 mk1 with xp on it, turns out bios is password locked which he never told me about, although did get it for a good price
    What I want to know is will I still be able to use it without any problems, seems to boot from USB as I upgraded to win 7 tonight, but will the bios cause me problems further down the line
    Thanks

    It may cause you problems, depending on what you need to use and what may be disabled. Install PC Information viewer and you will be able to see what most of the settings are. Example, you'll be able to see WLAN set to either enable or disable.
