   Your setup disk should work if you put it in the drive and then restart. If it doesn’t, you might want to spend a few hours googling it. There are some great geek sites out there now.

   If it’s a desktop, as you on the computer, keep on pressing on ‘delete’. It will take you to bios setup utility. Move to the boot sector. Select the cd/dvd-rom as the first booting device. Then ECS. It will take you back to the bios setup utility then press F10 to save your settings. Insert the windows xp cd into the cd-rom drive .Then, enter. It will reboot the system back. (the computer will be searching for bootable device and will choose the cd-rom). Press enter and it will start loading. Follow the instruction on the screen.

   Restart the computer. Go into Setup (watch the screen for a prompt. look for Boot Order. make sure the CD drive comes before the hard drive. Put the Windows CD in the drive. If you had to change the boot order, Save and Exit, otherwise just exit. The installation will start up. Follow the instructions. (Format the drive when it asks.)

   There are hard drive utilities that are bootable and that will "write zeros" to your hard drive. This in itself will eliminate almost all viruses but some are a tougher nut to crack. You may just want to take the PC to the Geek Squad or equivalent. And next time install a good anti-virus program right after you re-install XP and before you do anything else!

   p.s. And with the falling price of hard drives you could just replace the drive and do a total do over, nothing more satisfying than taking the old ball pein hammer to an offending piece of hardware. Probably cheaper than "professional" help from some Bozo in a white shirt with a pocket protector (said the former Bozo–I’ve hung up my red shoes).

   Ok here we go, DON’T use the restore. you can’t anyway because you have a virus that IF you could get to the restore, it will tell you you have not restore point. That is what the virus does. And you will not want to use the boot from windows because you may not remove the virus. This same type of virus is in popups that won’t let you close them, they just keep popping up. If you don’t have a virus program that stops them before you get them, then it’s too late.

   You need to set you cmos to boot from cd/dvd then boot with the XP os disk. Delete the old partition and install . NOTE THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR FILES so backup your system before you install windows. You may need a friend’s system and your hard drive to do this. MAKE SURE they are not using vista or win7. Cut you files to cd/dvd or thumb drive. YOU MIGHT need them to set up your system because win xp is older and your system may have newer components also save your drivers and system dirs.

   Win xp once it boots will only install windows files, so you will be getting a fresh windows but the file that could be hidden on your system will not be removed. (the same way windows says it will not delete your personal files) – it will not remove the virus file. So you need to reformat the dirve that will clear the problem….. it will also make your system run better, like a new install.

   You can do it yourself, but if you need help email me I will give u a phone # so I can help U.FREE
