PC is screwed

I got a virus which is the latest mydoom on symantecs site and I run xp pro I formatted 3 times and it said error loading operating system now it will not even read my disk and my floppy drive wont read floppies... I need to get into safe mode I have an ashlon 2000+ xp delete gets me into the bios and f8 sends me to a screen with a blue box listing what to boot from but I need the options for things like safe mode to try and fix my computa, when I try to load windows now its just all black with a white typing line at the top left and nomatter what I hit nothing happens.

One sentence, one comma and one bloody full-stop (period)?
Stop babbling and tell us what the problem is in as many complete sentences as it takes. We need to know exactly what happened, exactly what you did (don't miss anything out or assume we know you would do something, we are not Uri Geller or that fuck Krispin) and exactly what happens when you do things now, OK?
We are not pushed for space here so you can be as elaborate as you need to be, which is a fuck load more elaborate than that post.

Number 1: got the latest mydoom virus and had to format my machine since it said error loading operating system everytime I tried to boot into windows

Number 2: tried to format 3 times and got the same error those 3 times when trying to boot into windows

Number 3: now it will not read my windows disk or any floppies so I am stuck in a blank screen with no way to get into safe mode appearently


OK GOT THAT (DUUUH)?!

Look, fuckwit, the first language of most people in here is English, while almost everyone else is proficient enough in the language to make it the most useful standard for communication. If you're going to use a bastardised version to try and communicate, then you're fucked.
Duuuuh.

look in the bios and make sure that the hard drive is set as a boot device.

what OS are you installing? windows xp i assume?
are you formatting in NTFS or FAT32?

edit: and at least type so people can understand you or you aren't going to get much help.

ROTF indeed, fucktard. Are you so retarded as to think that having the last word/insult ensures you win an argument? That's what it looks like.

Do you want help or not?

If you re-read my first post it contains some useful hints on getting help from the people in this forum. Those people willing to give their time over to help others with problems FOR ABSOUTELY NO PERSONAL GAIN include Rossco, myself, and many others that could step in but haven't; do you think they haven't because they don't know the answer, because they can't be arsed, or because they haven't got enough information to go on?

OK, what did the error actually say? Just that, or "file xxxxx.xxx is corrupt or missing" or something else?

You "tried" to format? That would mean that formatting was unsuccessful, in which case you wouldn't have re-sintalled Windows and wouldn't be able to boot into it.

Explain exactly what happens that tells you it can't read the CD. Do you get any messages such as "Boot from CD... press any key", "CD not bootable", "Invalid system disk"? Does the CD spin and the drive's LED flash when you turn the machine on?
We need to know everything that happens, everything that you do and the exact wording of any messages that appear. These messages are not just abstract lines plucked from the ether, they have a specific meaning that may give those of us that can't see what 's happening a clue to the problem.

Now, are you going to start helping yourself and post what is needed or whinge like a preteen about being labelled a retard? I hope it's the former, because the latter is going to mean taking your computer to an expert and paying through the nose.

Smurfette is actually one of the most knowledgable here within these forums, when it comes to working out bugs and other inconveniences that arise within Windows. She (assuming "she") is someone who you may want to be nice to if you intend to continue posting your OS difficulties here.

And replies in general, at FileSharingTalk, always come by pretty quick when users ask for help. If you are as "screwed" as you claim to be, then I would think it in your best interests to display alittle more civility. Being asked to elaborate or to take your time in typing out your request is not at all too much to ask.

Steady on, though, you can never go by a nym... I may be a 60 year old perv after your arse. :eek:

have you tried deleting your old partion? as it, the virii, my have fucked up your file tree/stack...cant rember the right phrase off bat :P

just type fdisk in DOS mode, which you should be able to boot into off your windows CD. then just delete your main partion and create a new one

I think my window's cd's were acually curropt so when I tried to reinstall it was spitting out shit files so I got an sp1 corporate copy of win xp and fixed it up:01: with the help of a win98 boot cd

*cough* ANTIVIRUS *cough*
