Hi all my main computer has gone down in a big way and it has completly stumped me.
I got a virus of btjunkie (supposidly a very new type of trojon horse) i downloaded many virus checkers and none of them could remove it so i set to deleting the c: and re-formating so i could install windows.
i used a win98 boot disk which i have used many times before and got to the part where you delete the partition which i did and then i started fdisk
suddenly the comp turns itself of completly so i put in the win xp cd and set the bios to boot from the cdrom which it did, it started to install windows until it gets to the kernal debugg section and then it shuts down everytime.
Now i have tried putting the win98 floppy disk back in and it says the disk is missing files and also it says in block caps on the top left hand conrner (MISSING SYSTEM OPERATION)
then it turns it off.
I have been told by a fellow member that it could be the c: knackard or the memory i have found out that it isnt the memory as i have changed it with spares and it just does the same.
i dont think its the c: either i just think i am missing the part of boot up i need as the floppy i use is fooked now? but why does it boot from the cdrom
