I think its a virus could be memory crash...anyways

i have this problem: http://tinyurl.com/aq0v

the solution is to, in the recovery console, make a temp folder (m
tmp) and copy, delete , etc. When i type in mp tmp it says acce
denied. It does not ask me for any admin passwords, or anything. ho
can i fix this?

If you don't know the answer to that, i just need some files off th
harddrive then i can reformat it. (Or just boot the thing perferably!
how acn i do this?

**MORE DETAILED EXPLAIANTION OF PROBLEM**
a trojan tried to infect my computer when anti-virus caught it.
deleted it, scanned for more, deleted everything, but then i tried t
aces IE, didn't work. So i restarted the computer and brought me to
menu with these options: 1)boot in safe mode, start normally, etc.
click all of these but it just restarts and brigns me to the same spot
as i said, i NEED info off computer, but perferably i just wann boot th
computer (i can get rid of viru from there)

Thank you in advance for help
 
Go very slowly & very carefully when attempting to recover registry hives, as in MS article 307545.
If you did get into Recovery Console, that IS a very good beginning.

Is your Windows folder \WINNT or \Windows ?
Careful with your command syntax, since you may have to be specific with Windows' folder name.

Such as
MD C:\WINNT\tmp <<-- if your Windows is on C drive and if Windows folder is \WINNT

or
MD C:\Windows\tmp <<-- if your Windows is on C drive and if Windows folder is \Windows

Clue: The command prompt (when idle) in Recovery Console does show the currently active folder (directory).

2nd clue: IF your Windows folder is WINNT, you have to change the commands ( per the article) to reflect WINNT.

Hello John,

P.S. Once you are at the command prompt, see about entering these comands.

set AllowWildCards = TRUE

set AllowAllPaths = TRUE

set AllowRemovableMedia = TRUE

set NoCopyPrompt = TRUE

Press Enter key after each line.
