This happend to me on a Toshiba Satellite 1750XCDT laptop.
I burned this copy of Puppy 1.07 with Puppy itself.
These multi session CDs do not play up on desktops.
But it asked for the password on the PCMAI .
I could not beat it. I even put the Pup001 download file
into the root directory of XP, yes I unzipped it, but no go.
The same day I had a Compac laptop - 3 years old that
would not boot. PC Lnux 92 worked on both.
With the Compact laptop everything, sound etc was a go
and straight onto the internet.
The Toshiba had a sound problem. This laptop does not seem
to have a network card. I am told that even though one would
think you would get this standard with Toshiba, this was not the case.
Some other brands did this too. I wonder if this is the problem.
Obviously I looked in the devices of XP, but no network card
and no errors. Puppy is just great for safe banking, etc St George.
Regards and thanks.
new live 1.0.7 asking for login and password....
login and password
I can add to teecee. I have been using multi-session vs 1.07 since the 4th of 5th of this month. I had 9 saved sessions on the dvd-r disk. My problems started last week either thursday or friday. On closing down and doing the back up of changed files, I got an error message that something went wrong with the disk writing and the program asked that I insert a new dvd into the drive. I followed instructions and when the disk writing was finished I shut down.
On the next re-boot I was asked for login info, both name and password. Unable to supply same, I had created an extra vs 1.07 multi-session earlier. I inserted this new extra disk and when it reached area about upgrade I said "yes" and it requested I place my disk that had the old data. I first tried the most recent disk that requested the login info. It did some copying and the end result was at the end I could not get xwin to work. It stated maybe user_cram.fs was not loaded.
Next I repeated the process using my original data disk that had the 9 sessions on it. So when I was asked about upgrade, I said "yes" and inserted that disk. Now request for login info.
Our of frustration I just today re-inserted the disk that I was told had some write problem. Well lo and behold it booted OK today. the data that I had changed before all this occurred was lost. I made some changes today. Then I just now shut down and it did a save on this disk. It showed saving session #10. Re-booted the computer and presently I am using the old disk on an active session presumably session 10.
Sorry I can not supply more info from my recollection.

Multisession CD
Hello all,
I have had enormous problems with creating one. Every time it asked for login and password. But you won't get any results unless you do one simple thing: YOUR DRIVES MUST BE COMPLETELY EMPTY EXCEPT FOR THE PUPPY CD! I noticed that this solution was not mentioned in this topic.
Curious.

and of course, i had saved sessions to the 1.07 disk with all sorts of stuff i had downloaded via pupget, and now it doesnt work...

You may want to take a look at this page::
http://linuxgazette.net/107/tomar.html
And see HERE for a basic introduction on how the standard Puppy Livecd works.
And see these page too:
http://pupweb.org/puppy/development/howpuppyworks.html
http://pupweb.org/puppy/multi-puppy.htm
for more on how MS puppy works.
Btw, what does your /etc/shadow file looks like (open it in a text editor)?
I guess the problem has something to do with the burning / saving, and mounting (in normal puppy /root/.etc and /root/.usr are saved in pupxxx and mounted on boot, in MS puppy it's different...). Or does the problem only occur in laptop?
And I suspect that most dotpups are not made for MS puppy (most of them are tested in normal puppy).
