Downloaded and tested this... Only one thing, I tried to access my hard drive files and it required a password. No were did it ask me to set up a password and root didn't work as a password. I did not find a way to set one up for the dvd disc. Maybe try installing to a flashdrive. Anyone use or know how to do this or how to find the password for root?
Never mind the above question. Turns out it was easier than I thought especially after installing to a flash drive.
