I have an XP home PC that had quite a few viruses, including a boot virus.
I have managed to get all of the viruses off (except for the boot.ini), and
tried to create a new boot.ini file by going thru windows recovery.
I went thru the attrib commands, then attempted to delete the boot.ini, did
the bootcfg /rebuild and then fixboot.
nothing indicated that it did not work.
BUT - when I boot up, I get the error that it could not find the boot.ini
file now.
the only thing I noticed funny is that when I got to the dos screen and
typed CD.. it said it did not recognize the command, but I just typed del
c:\boot.ini, etc, to get around it.
other than that, all the steps seemed to go fine.
the PC boots up OK, runs okay, I have installed antivirus on it now, finds
no viruses.
what else can I look at?
