My computer has become completely
inoperable. It seems like a virus attacked it,
and my control panels were no longer
accessable. The computer was still
functioning, but when I downloaded a program
from the internet called Tune Up Utilities 2004,
things got worse. The program supposedly
helps to clean up your files and do a defrag.
When I restarted the computer I received a
message saying "Invalid system disk.
Replace the disk and then press any key".
Well, there was no disk in, and when I pressed
a key, the same message popped up again
and again. Have I totally destroyed my
computer? Is there a way to have this repaired
and still save a lot of the files I have on my
hard drive? If they have to go, so be it, but I
would prefer to save them if possible.
It's a Compaq Presario 2285V, with Windows 98.
Thanks.
