Windows XP Repair
Posted: Sun Dec 05, 2010 3:17 pm
So I'm not exactly sure how to use this whole program / cd thingy.
My problem is that I downloaded a nasty virus that corrupted my Windows.
Windows won't load.... and when I come to the boot menu
Start Normally - goes to a blank screen and doesn't load
Last Good Configuration - goes to a blank screen and doesn't load
Safe Mode(s) - don't load they get to a certain point running commands and then freeze
So i tried the avira virus scanner from the boot cd
it doesn't really do anything, just scans my computer lets me know i have viruses / warnings but doesnt fix them...
i tried updating the program but apparently cannot with the type / version of antivirus i have (i only have avira antivir on this ultimate boot cd... not sure if it's supposed to come with anything else?)
I'm not sure what i'm supposed to do with the partitions stuff but i know that formatting them will require me to reinstall windows (which i dont have the cd for in the first place which is why i'm trying this UBCD out)
So exactly what capabilities does this cd have?
am i doing something wrong?
i've searched the forums but can't seem to find the answer...
thanks for the help.
