You have a virus. The virus loads immediately AFTER the
master boot record has been read. You can't go online.
You can't access other boot modes because the virus has
infected some key OS files.
How do you remove it?
What doesn't work:
1) boot floppy (after reading the boot record on the
floppy, the system must access the HD drive to load the
OS, and thus loads the virus)
2) Windows XP CD (The recovery console is useless unless
you know exactly which file(s) have been infected.
3) You can't go online.
4) Virus scans won't load because of virus
countermeasures.
5) Boot CDs from Norton and others can't access NTFS
partitions.
6) Reinstalling the XP will erases user settings and
deletes the contents of My Documents (according to the XP
setup screen)
Is the only option to Repair the OS?
Under Win95 and Win98 this was an easy problem to solve,
but now???
