    help!!! vista contracted a trojan and will not start up.
    « on: July 09, 2009, 02:40:45 AM »
    im using windows vista home premium.

    I contracted a few Trojans recently, i was away for a week and came back to find my laptop will not start up.

    it comes to a screen with the heading "Windows Boot Manager" and go's on about how i should put in the installation disc to repair the system.
    then has a few little informative things that i cant make sense of.

    FILE: \BOOT\BCD
    STATUS: 0xc000000f
    INFO: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.

    First of all i'd like to get back to being able to use my laptop, and secondly as i bought the laptop with vista already installed i never got the install disc.

    so...HELP!!! what do i do.

      Can you borrow a Windows Vista Home Premium disk from someone?

        would it work using someone elses disk to repair your pc? to my understanding there is only 1 disk per computer.  and something bout copyright if its someone elses.

        -thanks

        As long as you use your license key then you can use any disk that is the same as what is installed on your computer.
