How do I Reimage a SafeGuard Easy laptop?

I have an old laptop that is protected with SGE. I don't care about the OS or data on the laptop, I just want to reinstall a new OS. How can I reimage it?

When I boot with the new Windows install disk is can't recognize the installed disk.

Thanks in advance,

F

    It's an old Lenovo T60 (32 bit). I only have Win 7 x64 install CDs. I'm attempting to install XP Pro and the install disk doesn't see any disk, even when I put a good work.

    I'm not sure what "advanced settings" screen you're referring to. I can get to the SGE login screen, but I don't have a username / pw to get past it. With the Windows install, I don't get far enough to see the advanced settings screen...

    When I mount the laptop disk as a secondary drive in another Win 7 desktop PC it shows in "Disk Management" as "Uninitialized". A dialog appears automatically asking to initialize it w/ a MBR. When I click to proceed a dialog pops up reporting "Virtual Disk Manager" "The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    and I can't do anything with it.  :-(

    Any thoughts would be appreciated...
