Help - it looks like my PC has been struck by a virus!
I get a message saying cannot find NTLDR so I can't boot into XP Home.
By loading the recovery console and running a DIR command, I find
that the whole file system has been corrupted and there aren't any
meaningful file names or directories.
The system comes with CDs to recover the PC to its original state but
this would wipe out all my data. I have used a Windows XP
professional disc to get into the recovery console and also have a
Windows 98 CD at my disposal.
My laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.
Can anyone suggest any way of recovering the contents of my hard disk
please?
