When I try to re-load Windows XP after booting from a Windows XP SP3 OEM CD,
it says it cannot find files that are there. There are maybe 100 files it
says it can't find. There is no problem reading the files with the same
hardware and the same CD when booted from XP and accessing the files directly.
I've had no problems re-loading Windows XP on other computers, so possibly
this particular computer is infected with malware.
The computer on which I have been having problems re-loading works well.
However, I am worried that it is infected.
Could this be a problem with file permissions or ownership? Registry entry
permissions?
The computer that is affected is important. It is not feasible at this time
to re-format the hard drive and re-install all the programs, so we want to
just renew the operating system image that is there.
