A friend had taken her system to a local pc repair shop because it wasn’t running well. They discovered her Windows XP was “blacklisted”. Their fix was to 1)uninstall XP, 2)install a used hard drive, 3)install Windows 98se on this hard drive and make it C:, 4)leave the original drive alone (except for the XP removal and making it D:) so she didn’t lose any files. Unfortunately, the XP file structure is still intact including the restore points. 1 of these RPs has spyware. If the infected files (or the whole RP) are manually deleted, they reappear upon rebooting. I cannot reload XP due to her not being able to locate her XP disc. Question: How to remove a restore point when XP is no longer the OS?
