@mrintech: One more thing - after clearing the BIOS, you may get a "Checksum error" message on the POST screen when you first boot up again. This is quite normal. Just press F1 to continue or go into BIOS and set the date and anything else you want to.

Well well well me again back with Windows :))

Lemme share the story with you all. Actually my computer is 4 years old and at that time i had 1 CD Reader and 1 CD Writer :)) - The vendor fooled me, not telling me about DVD Combo Drive :evil:

The CD Reader was gone completely as once I tried playing a CD which was slightly cracked :)) The other CD Writer worked for me for sometime and than it's tray completely stopped ejecting :))

I bought a DVD Writer LG and it was fitted where my CD Reader resided. I started using it completely forgetting and neglecting about the CD Writer 8) I was using earlier Windows XP Pro for the past 1 year.

Now the main reason for not booting up of any Bootable CD is that my DVD Drive was not reading any of them. Even after clearing the BIOS as pimpom said. zyberboy was correct.

Somehow I tried to eject the CD Writer (which was under Sanyaas from Past 1 Year) with a Safety PIN and it gets ejected. Now I prayed to GOD and inserted Bootable XP in it and voila! it worked. :-D I carried out the installation process.

But now still the problem is not solved, some DORKHEAD made this Unattending Windows XP Installation Disk via nLite. This disk was installing lotsa other softwares that were integrated within it. Also it changed my Drive Letter C: to G: :evil:

Also it just removed everything only from Documents and Settings folder of previous installation and replaced files from Windows and other essential folders and setup new XP for me.

The main thing is that It didn't formatted anything corrupt / infected present in Drive C: and all the infected/corrupted files are still present. Thanks to AVG I am able to remove these Trojans. But still the previous installed files/folders are present. Thanks to this DORKHEAD :evil:

Well I will get a new Windows XP installation Disk and will format the partition again. Right now have to do some project related work, so will have to live with this Windows for somedays :evil:

One more thing I learned is that Comodo Firewall Sucks. I was using Comodo with Avira. EVerytime Avira updated itself through Manual/Auto Updates, all files were directly shifted to Comodo's suspicious files area and everytime I had to Approve/Purge all the files.

Also, I don't know what happened, but even Avira Stopped updating itself automatically and this was due to comodo. Comodo affected Avira functionalities a lot. How I don't know.

Regarding the virus that infected my PC was created in the Local Settings folder 2 Months Back :shock: This Avira started detecing it when I reinstalled Avira on the same day when I started facing this virus related issues. And this Non-Detection is due to Comodo only, as it messed up Avira Anti-Virus.

Well I will use this Windows XP for somedays and then reinstall it with actual XP Installation CD. Also I am thinking of either Buying KAV or KIS for my PC.

So you folks please tell me the price for single user for KAV or KIS.

BTW Thanks all for reply and help :)

@mr. mrintech

err! You're getting 3 user KIS for Rs.500 whereas other Internet Security Suites retail @ 1000+. Saste mein toh mil raha hai.

Yeah! You are infected Download + Scan with the Following Softwares:

* *www.free-av.com/en/download/1...antivirus.html
* *www.superantispyware.com/download.html
* *www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Also make sure that they are updated to latest definition files and go for Full System Scan.

Keep in mind that as soon as you are completed with the download as well as definition update, turn the Internet OFF and than proceed with scan

Else

You can always try Online Scanning. Here's the list of best Online Scanners: *mrintech.com/5-best-online-vi...rs-you-can-use

@mrintech: You mean we went through all that because your optical drive could not read your boot discs??!!

It occurred to me once to suggest trying another drive or testing your drive in another computer. But you did not mention any previous problem with your drive and we were already on the subject of clearing the BIOS, so I shelved that suggestion for the time being.

Oh well, at least you've learned how to clear your BIOS.

never browse net or use pen drive in administrative account as u r easily giving away previlages to do actions.
Or While copying files from pendrive,Downloading Torrents,from risky sites use linux.Enjoy them in Xp.


keep a guest a/c for browsing net or copying file from pend drive etc risky actions

when installing or using pc offline work in Admin Account

u don't need KIS/KIV not even any protection soft if u know how to properly block privileges to access files,registry,etc in XP to unwanted prog by running in proper User Groups/Accounts.
 

yippee

lost in my world
lol...i wonder how your computer was able to boot from linux if it is not able to read the windows disks.......
