internal hard drive restore

[dnick25]

Hello All,

I recently attempted to restore my entire hard drive to its original factory state- because I had a virus that was destroying my PC.

When I inserted my windows recovery CD- it helped none and actually made my computer worse! My computer does nothing except:

boot up-(at the boot menu I do have keyboard access)-

starts in safe mode-( but I have no mouse function nor keyboard function AFTER my PC hits this mode)-

than after about 2mins. my computer will reboot automatically than shuts down.

I am clueless as to what to do about this, and before I go out and purchase a new PC I was wondering if there were any solutions anyone could offer to help me out. I would really appreciate ANY help given.

NOTE: PC is a Compact  w/ only 256 RAM, Windows xp home edition was previously installed.

Turn on your pc then insert windows recovery CD into your cd drive turn off power. Restart your pc again. Let your pc boot from the CD. Following the given instructions. It will erase everything in your hard drive and reinstall your pc for you. Your pc will be like brand new ones. Don't use safe mode to do this! It will not work in safe mode.

After you installed, be sure update your computer security patches from uncle Bill Gate, and install anti-virus, firewall, and adware (free from Lava Soft) programs to protect your computer from further threats. Stay up-to-date or you will get more headaches.  Can't stay up-to-date? switch to iMAC, no virus or patch to worry. Just need to keep up learning a whole new operating system.

Good luck.

Have  great holiday season!
