After removing a virus from a machine (GX270) with Windows XP, it corrupted
the OS and would not allow access to 'msconfig' to turn off safe mode. In an
attempt to repair the OS I ran the repair function off of the reinstall boot
disk. I was not aware that setup would not complete if the computer is in
Safe mode. Now all it will do is restart, try to complete the setup, refuse
it and restart again. Even in the selected startup screen, choosing 'start
windows normally' it will start up in safe mode. Does anyone have any
suggestions how to get out of this vicious circle? Just blowing the machine
away is not an option because this computer has work information on it that
is not backed up.
Any comments would be appreciated...
