I can't boot into my pc which has win xp sp 2. I did a virus/spyware check yesterday and found some spyware and a virus called Golden. But I thought my virus checker got rid of that. Today I tried to login to my pc and I get a blue screen saying perhaps I caught a virus or check my hard drive and make sure it's plugged in. Then said to run chkdsk /f. I tried everything along with f8 on startup and nothing worked. I also tried to login in safe mode, but nothing. Tried to restore last known setting and still nothing. I'm kinda new at this pc stuff. I'm no idiot but still a newbie at all this.
Lucky for me that I still have my notebook and home wireless network working. Could someone please help me out! Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
Hi
Use linux live cd knoppix than go to hard drive copy the most important files to usb disk or pen drive, when finished use cd WINXP sp2 (boot) and install windows, this is my solution works great .
Well i am not a system admin so can't tell you more but just would like to tell you that backup your useful data and reinstall your window and use antivirus like avast and i am sure that it would help you to prevent such kinds of problems in future.

Yah his right but not agree with avast anti virus..use AVG
AVG rocks but im starting to think avira antivir is better tho.
Yes you will have to boot up and take your important info off the computer using linux if that dosent work thrs always other methods then your most likely gona have to reformat
