Re: [Trojan] Cant even login to windows
nothing happens as i continuously pound the F8 , at every phase of windows startup, from when it does mem check to detecting drives, to the dual boot menu, all the way to windows logon screen.
i'll have to try the floppy boots sometime later this evening.
I have a windows Xp cd , will that work? or will that just send me to the reformat/reinstall windows xp screen? |

| Am I right in assuming you're using GRUB/LiLo/etc. for your boot manager?
If so, is it installed into the MBR, or, into the Boot Record of the partition you have Linux installed into?
If installed into the Boot Record of your Linux partition, you can boot off your XP CD, load the Recovery Console, and use DISKPART to change the boot ("Active") partition to your XP one. At that point, you should be able to F8-> Safe Mode.

If you can't get in even through F8 then I say your screwed.
I hope your not one of those people that keep all this stuff on the hard drive. |
