i have a dell latitude system and want to know if i take the hard drive out
and install OS from some other computer by connecting it using USB will it
work on my latitude. im trying all this as i have forgotten bios pwd and cant
change the boot sequence to set it to boot from cd and ive tried every
possible way to bypass bios pwd.
To bypass the bios password you'll need to take the cmos battery out for 10
seconds then put it back in again.

If you cannot boot your Latitude , you can get the master password for your
Dell by calling Dell Technical Support at (800)624-9896.
Dell Technical Support will request the Service Tag and Express Service Code
from the bottom of your Latitude.

You'll need to contact Dell support to fix that, and take it to a service
depot. This is a common security feature for laptops. *that* is what you
need to fix to do this right.
This may help: http://www.tech-faq.com/dell-bios-password.shtml
And unless the other PC that you install from is very similar, the install
won't work as you describe.

Have the ownership/registration transferred to you. They have a method for
this.
