Pretty new DELLXPS 210 with SATA hard drive and SATA DVD R/W.
I finally got the demons cleaned. They even run in SAFE mode and cannot be quarantined.
Booting onto standard startup of XP, machine now hangs with arrow at top left of screen... waiting for graphics mode, I
think.
There is no floppy drive on the machine. Selecting in the BIOS to boot from internal DVD/CD or USB, it can't find the
SATA DVD drive.
I installed an external USB DVD drive and it boots. I get into Command console that way.
But SFC can't find the SATA Hard drive!
So I put the hard drive into another XP computer with SP3.
XP SFC does not have the VISTA options of:
/OFFBOOTDIR= and /OFFWINDIR=
options.
Now what do I do?
