Hi, new to the forum, I'm here because I've hit a brickwall....
running an old sharp laptop, with XP pro, the 'enter' key doesn't work, but that wasn't an issue, until now....
I contracted a virus from facebook, it has left my PC constantly rebooting, I can get to the 'choose boot' screen and can highlight safemode, but I cannot press enter.
Is there a way of forcing the computer into safemode?
I have just bought a USB to IDE/SATA cable and have removed the hard drive, I can access it and have run AVG on it to remove the virus, but it has left me with the registry issue, does anyone know the DOS command that will allow me to repair the registry?
I tried system restore, but that only restores the main drive on the host computer, I do have the original recovery disks, but the cdrom is playing up and wont see them as boot disks, any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers Jed
