^^^ yeah eleborate the issue, where does the bootup fail ? Have you tried booting into Safe Mode ?

[shashank4u]

r u sure he got virus.in his comp...there maybe some other prob also..

[cooldip10]

There's only one way.. U HAVE to format the hard disk using the Boot CD and freshly install Windows again..

To preserve any data.. u can use your computer (by making your friend's hard disk as slave drive ).. But be a little careful.. u don't want your system to get infected by that virus

Format the HDD...Install the Operating System...Also install a good antivirus software....Do make it a habit of regularly updating the antivirus definitions n also the software.


Cheers,

Most Anti-Virus allow DOS scan so, try and boot ut machine into DOS and scan for Virus Infections.
