Fixing computer

[Haz29]

Well, i ran into a few viruses that completly disabled my computer so im stuck using this one for now (very slow)... I have been trying to fix it using a discus of linux called knoppix. I mounted my hard harddrive to this program and ran it and it came up with all the viruses and everything, but since it got into some of my system 32 files windows needs to reinstalled. So i found my windows restore cd and everytime it gets to around 55% it says it is unable to open GHOST.txt and the computer will restart... So my question is does anyone no how to fix this or at least another option i can take to fix my computer. Any help will be nice. Thx

It sounds to me like you're screwed and you need a new install/restore disk. If you have a pre-assembled computer, which I'm guessing you do, you can order recovery disks from the manufacturer. HP does this, and I'm sure every other manufacturer does too.

GHOST.txt is either hidden or missing from your recovery disk. Try exploring the disk search it for Ghost.txt and determine if it is simply missing. If it is you will need to order a new one

Yeh sorry it took so long to reply but i was sleeping.... And yeh it is pre-assembled.. but what im going to try and do is from knoppix.. ill partition my C Drive into 2 drives one 10gb, other 30gb and in the 10gb 1 im going to install 98 or ME if i can find the disk... And from there ill try to trouble shoot the problem but if that dont work i guess ill be ordering a new disk thanks for the suggestion.
