OK, first let's address the malware issue. Go ahead and clean up your
computer per the general removal steps I gave you in the earlier post.
Since you are running XP, you don't need LSPFix. If you don't have SP2,
then download the WinsockXP fix. If you have SP2, you don't need to
download anything extra. Those programs are because often you'll lose
Internet access because of malware damage. If you have the programs
that fix it on hand, then you aren't stuck needing to get to the
Internet after malware repair and no way to get the necessary tools.
It's just a precautionary measure.
I must admit I'm a little confused by your hard drive scenario and what
you are really asking me. I've been up since 3AM, so make it easy for
me and just clearly tell me:
1. Which hard drive is master.
2. Which hard drive is slave.
I assume both those hard drives are attached to the IDE0 connector.
3. What do you have connected to IDE1? Two cd drives?
4. And what can't be seen and by what. Are you talking about the
hardware being recognized by Windows or by the BIOS? If we are just
talking about device recognition, the partitioning scheme doesn't
matter.
IOW, make it clear for me please.
