My cousin's XP was infected by virus, and it was not able to start in
any mode(including safe mode, command prompt,last configuration and
etc).
I took and move the harddisk to my PC and scaned it using trend micro
housceall. The virus scanner detected and removed several virus.

But it is still not able to get into any mode.
Once i get into the xp, the XP reboots and it happens to any mode.

I also did the repair installation and scandisk, and it did not work.

Any suggestion?

If you have a non OEM XP disk you can boot from the disk press R to acces the
repair console the run CHKDSK /R. remove the disk and reboot. Post back if
you need further assistance.

all you need to do is format the c: and reboot your system.
You files would be safe but your softwares would be lost. you can easily reinstall them. remember that you do not have any files on c: accept the program ones :pfff: :ange: :non: :bounce: :) :( :D ;) :ouch: :o :??: :p :na: :sarcastic: :fou: :pt1cable: :lol: :wahoo: :kaola: :love: :heink: :cry: :whistle: :sol: :sleep: :sweat: :hello:
