Janrocks has been here quite a while and really knows her stuff. This is a risk but if there is stuff on that drive that you have to have then this may work. I have done this before and it worked. If it is the virus janrocks has mentioned I don not know what it does or can do you may read up on it but this is what I did. **IF YOU DO THIS DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK I DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN.** My scary ass covering bit. It look like you have another computer you are posting here. If You have another computer or hard drive which you can load XP make sure the computer or new drive has a up to date virus program slave the bad drive to the other good drive and then run a full virus scan on it then I would go to pcpitstop.com and run a full scan on it again. The risky part of doing this is you could infect the good drive. Hopefully if they do find something it can be fixed for your sake. Once it is running again I would burn all the stuff you need to or want to save to a disk at least you will be able to save stuff you want.
Then Format the infective drive with a program that actual writes zero to all sectors of the drive. do a search on google for UBCD boot cd there is a program on there under drive tools by seagate that can do this.Then start load everything back on the drive before you use the backup CD you burned of all your saved stuff scan the hell out of it for viruses you never know if the bug is hiding there. If you do not want to risk another computer or hard drive get the UBCD boot CD and still write zero's to the drive it is the best way to wipe a drive clean. It pretty much returns the drive to the state it came from the MFG. Some may think this is overkill but it did work for me in the past good luck let me know how it goes.
Don't you hate it When people say, "It's always in the last place you look". What the HELL??? Of course it
is. Why the HELL would you keep looking for it after you've already found it?
Who the HELL are these people? |
