WinXP system attacked by some virus I suppose
This problem was actually faced by my frnd. So, I'm trying to retell the prob as he told me...

I was using Windows XP Professional. The system got attacked by some virus I suppose, coz it restarted unusually. Ok, now the real prob, I tried to reinstall windows but found that my WinXP CD is corrupted. The setup failed once, and now its not starting. Even windows's [SAFE MODE ALSO] not starting. I dont want to format the HDDs. I dont have n e other WinXP CD or Win98 CD or n e other OS. The HDFS is NTFS. Now, plz help me escape this...

Thanx
