Hi,and No, not "All" some "hide on the drive where a reinstall will not effect them, however, if your going to go that far, you could reformat BEFORE you reinstall, that WILL kill all viruses.HTHBeSafeE Dragon
Yes,but first try the advice that follows here&you cant just reinstall,you have to reformat,wich only a computer guy can do for you-My PC has also been infected with the Funweb A virus and other viruse,that i could not detect or remove.I was running AVG free adition virus ware and it did not pick it up-I have tried every virus ware I could find,but no luck.I then went to www.webattack.com and found a way to remove it by doing the following-clicked on green link at the top of the page stating "FREEWARE",then clicked on virus tools/or you can search on that site for this program-"Avast home edition".It is the best freeware program,that i have ever used and removed the virus in no time.The Funweb A is a Trojan horse virus,and when Avast picked it up was goung under another name-i think that's why everybody have difficulty in removing it,and cant find anything under funwe A ,coz it is going under another name.Avast has also detected and removed 2 other virus infected files on my PC!It is important to do a live update of avast virus deff and to set program to run a full system scan.Do download the full free home adition and not just the computer cleaner.Its AMAZING and kicks budd! : )Thank you so much Avast!!!!Two programs going really well with Avast and also freeware on the same site is Ad-Aware spy detector and Zone Alarm firewall.I have all three and they work together like magic!: )GREAT STUFF!!!!Try it,you wont look back!
Try reinstalling the driver for the CD drive
Reinstalling Windows will not erase the hard drive unless you tell it to reformat the hard drive before reinstalling the operating system. You will have to reinstall all your programs that were installed prior to reinstall but all your saved files will still be there.
No. Unless you are making major changes to your system's hardware, for example, replacing the hard drive, proccessor and motherboard at the same time, reinstalling the OS is not necessary. Sometimes even making major changes to the hardware will work ok without any reinstalling. The exception being if you replace the hard drive that contains the OS.
As long as they use the same data connector, yes. However, you will likely not be able to use the hard drive, as Windows XP will not usually work when transferred to another computer, and Windows Me cannot read the NTFS file system. Reinstalling Windows XP or formatting the hard drive in Windows Me will resolve these respective issues.
You probably neglected to install a driver for your sound card. Download one from your manufacturer's website.
Find a computer where you can add a password in the bios. Doing so, you can setup your bios to boot from hard drive first before booting from the DVD drive. No windows install DVD will be able to re install windows since the hard drive will boot first.Then, in windows, setup you account as admin and add a password for it if there is no password. Setup a guest account for other windows users. That's it.
You could format the hard drive
On C drive is where your Windows and program sis installed. So proably it won't do without reinstalling them.
to remove backtrack 5 you must get the windows ISO then put it on a flash drive and boot of that
There is no upgrade path from Windows ME to Windows 2000. You would have to reformat the hard drive to remove ME before you install Windows 2000 from scratch.
Yes. All data on the hard drive will be destroyed, including the Windows Registry.
Windows PE is running on a RAM drive
