To all you who prefer to format and reinstall whenever you face a problem.
You learn nothing by doing so.

I'm not sure he knows what year it is any more, now that you've dropped it from your name.You were useful in 2004.
Just put the drive in an external case, connect the drive to a non-infected system (make sure that autorun is turned off) and scan for viruses, including boot sectors.Sometimes a lot quicker tho , especially if virus troubles .
That's got to be quicker that reinstalling windoze.

I did find a virus and removed it and everything worked fine
but I figured it was about time to reinstall windows anyway, been over a year.
I have another problem that I have not seen before at leasst not in a long time. I have two 500GB hard drives in the computer. when I press f8 in the windows setup process it says that "Setup did not find any Hard Disk"
the BIOS sees them just find, whats up!!

Why would you press f8 in setup ? Your booting from CD to reinstall right ?

right, boot from XP CD it loads the stuff from the CD you press Enter to install windows then F8 to go to the list of Hard Drives that you can potentially install Windows.
Basically Windows Setup is not seeing either one of the hard drives in my computer

I guess you could always format before hand.

Or even for that matter use an off line/boot scanner.

But having a fresh image of Windows with all you favorite apps installed and only takes a few minutes to restore is priceless
