It means you have a program called 'Deep Freeze' on your computer. Unless you can boot with a floppy or a CD and format, you're pretty much screwed over for trying to do stuff.

What it does: restores the hard drive as if it was ghosted each time the computer restarts. There is a shortcut to disable it, if you know the password for it. The global shortcut is Ctrl-Shift-F6 i think.

If Windows boots, the drive is frozen. no changes can be made that are permanent. If you can install a program outside of Windows, or just copy it, it should be able to stay.

if the bios is not password protected, change the boot order and install/dualboot something else (if you keep the laptop for atleast a month)
