Hi.
I have been having severe problems with my system recently, and I know I have at least the blaster worm. I cant access task manager, regedit, or any other programs, and its running terribly slow. But I have backups of all my data, and recovery cds and all that stuff, so I just need to reformat *completly* and just start with a clean install.
But for some reason I have two problems.
When I try to reformat by putting the cd in the drive in windows, after it has loaded, and reinstalling, I get a blue screen error, which I guess is probably vuris-related.
But when I change my boot device priority so that md CD drive loads before my HDD, the installer doenst detect any Hard disk, so it cant install windows...
How do I get this fixed? I need to load my HDD so the computer "sees" it, and then reinstall from the CD. Ive done this before with WinXP home, and it works, my other system just doenst seem to see my Hard drive.
Anybody know how to fix this, or maybe some other way to reformat and do a clean install of windows?
Like I said, I dont need to save any data.
Thanks :)
