Hi, first timer here. My PC completely shut down, virus from p2p site. Only
way to get system running again without losing all the files, family pics,
music etc, was to reload XP over the existing XP, now my HD size has halved,
obviously two XP programs installed, taking up way too much room on a 40gb
HDD. Question is how to fix it so all is well, without having to do a full
uninstall and reformat. Any help will be appreciated, if it means a complete
reformat, will have to save all the files etc, bummer.
Running AVG anti virus, Error Nuker, Adaware and Spybot
It's time to bite the bullet and start over. Buy a bigger HD, install XP fresh, install your
anti-virus software, then install the 40GB drive as a slave and let the AV clean it up. Then
use the old 40GB drive just for data storage.
It would take a just fraction of the time spent trying to get the old drive working right.
