I can not reinstall my xppro after it crashed(safe mode does not work) for no reason, Maybe it has something to do with the via raid controler(i hava s-ata disk from maxtor) or maybe it is a virus. So my question is if you know of a good antivirus that can scan offline with the latest definitions. Maybe even with a bootable cd, but any suggestion will be greatly appriciated.
So peace to you all
thanx
Here is something posted by nonnspin that I used once to get safe mode back.

Basically you've got TWO options here:
1. add:
BootSafe=Boolean
Default: 0
Purpose: A setting of 1 forces your computer to boot in Safe mode.
means: If you put
BootSafe=1
your machine boots into SafeMode every time until you remove it
2. add:
BootKeys=Boolean
Default: 1
Purpose: A setting of 1 enables the use of the function key boot options
(that is, F4, F5, F6, F8, and CTRL).
A setting of 0 disables the use of these function keys during the boot process
ergo > adding >
BootKeys=1
(re-)enables your precious BootKeys

Why don't you overwrite the xp or install another one and delete the one you using later ? You could try to travel into past, before the crash :D
You could check in the services to boot into safe mode.
Why not just Fdisk , Format then reinstall . I'm kidda confused about this post tho . I don't think its a virus ,mabye hardware related ?Quote:
