Re: smartdrv

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

My computer crashed and I am trying to reinstall XP upgrade. I cant run
setup from the CD Rom, it says it cant run from DOS, so I am trying other
things. I am wondering if I somehow got a boot sector virus. I am only an
amateur at computers but trying to save myself some money. I know there are
files on the C drive, i just cant get it to boot. I may have to install 98
and then XP....
