I had to do a clean install of Windows XP Pro on my home computer recently and everything went just fine, but it seems that the computer will not boot up unless the Windows installation CD is the in CD-Rom drive. Nothing has changed with my computer hardware wise, and this didn’t happen when I first installed windows on this computer. I’ve tried reformatting and reinstalling but it doesn’t help. Any suggestions would be great!

Notices come up that my home computer has been infected with a virus.

I live in California and called a well known company called the Geek Squad. They said the fee would be about 0.00 to clear it up.

Is that standard fee for home computer virus cleanup? Will pay it if I have to but seems high fee for this problem.

Any other suggestions on how to clean up my computer.
