XP PROFESSIONAL BOOTING ISSUES

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello recently my dell system was infected with a virus i was finally able to
format reinstall and when i did i could not boot the system with out the cd.
now after deleting some files and runing my virus software (macafee) the
system will only boot to a black screen with the mouse pointer visible.

i cannot get the system to boot in any mode the only thing i was able to do
was get the professional recovery cd to boot to a screen where it ask if i
want to repair the boot sequence or reinstall the os. i just got most of my
programs back i dont want to format the system again.

please help me boot the system without the cd and to boot properly to the
log in screen and working
.
