[mecka]

There are 3 links to combo-fix but i have that on my flash drive already,its when the combofix is running the prompt is coming up to download Windows Recovery but thats where i cant because i do not have internet access.Sorry i am not very computer savy.

[SuperDave]

but thats where i cant because i do not have internet access.Sorry i am not very computer savy.

Sorry, I didn't realize you couldn't access the net.

Please download this file from Microsoft and save it on your desktop.
WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Home-BootDisk-ENU

Next, please drop/drop it onto Combofix, and Combofix will install the recovery console.



Once that is done, Combofix will ask if you want to continue to scan. Select no, and then let me know once you have gotten this far.

[mecka]

Well have another issue ,i can download only a shortcut of combofix and windows bootdisk buto the desktop.Ithen try to move the windows xp recovery onto the combofix and it wont move.For that matter i cannot arrange any of my desktops?
