tried to boot from my cd-rom with the restore disc in it hoping to reinstall
windows. it won't boot from it. i think i may have a virus. can anyone
please help me?
 
What is the make and model of your computer?
Did you read the User's Guide that came with
your computer to learn how to properly use the
Restore CD?

it is an emachine....i did read the manual on how to use the retore cd, but
the computer will not read the disc.
 
it gets to the window xp logo and just sits on there forever, it never gets
to the desktop....i went into the bios and reset the default configurations
and i also tried to change the order of the boot so it would boot from the
cd-rom and it won't....i can't even start windows in safe mode.....i don't
know too much about the bios to mess with them.
