I got a friend PC infested with virus and adware/spyware. I tried to clean it with Norton 2005, Adaware, Spybot and HiJackThis. I came to point where I didn’t have any more virus, adware, spyware or trojan reported but the system was unstable.
So I format the drive try to reinstall Windows XP, but the system was turning off after I accept the EULA. So I Fdisk the HD, erasing the partition and creating a new DOS partion, making it active and formating with System. The PC boot fine to DOS but when I try to install XP same thing, system turns off and I have to cold boot to make it restart.
I tried to use this HD in an other system and I was able to install Windows after creating an NTFS partion with Partion Magic 8. I take the drive back to the original PC and the system will turn off while Windows is starting no matter if I boot in Safe mode or Normal Mode.
Any idea?
