what kind of system do you have? You will have to boot the system with your floppy and there will be a screen to tell you how to do that.

If your system is a newer model, you may not use the v1.69 HMD disk.
currently own X61S, T42, X31, Macbook Pro Unibody i5

Case solved..
Had to boot up another TP and checked the system serial nr.. it had 1S at the start of the serial number..
So i just took choice "add new number" and wrote 1S2722BDG and serial and viola... the serial number is finally right again 8)
