Hi, you are in the right place.
Are you able to boot into safe mode. Restart your computer. Tab the F8 key continuously after you hear the beep at startup. Your will be brought to a window to select the boot type. Use the arrow keys to choose safe mode. Then you will be prompted to select the operating system. Choose XP. Post back with results. If you are able to boot into safe mode, please do not do anything yet. This post has been edited by PropagandaPanda: Mar 12 2008, 09:26 AM -------------------- |

When you tried hitting the F8, does the computer still try to boot normally? The malware should not load that early in the boot.
I would try again starting to hit F8 as soon as you power on then. If your BIOS is not functioning then... that is just really really bad. -------------------- |

No,because I dual boot (or use too) with Xubuntu and Windows XP and it use GRUB instead of MBR,that's why
