I know I have a virus
I want to wipe my C drive clean
I tried doing it with the windows XP CD
all it did was to place a second copy of Windows on my drive

The second copy is badly infected
I cannot use ,un-install or reinstall Internet Explorer nor Mazilla Firefox


When I boot I can choose which copy of Windows XP I want

to load

If I choose the first copy it never boots it tries over and over again

The second copy boots and loads but it has some sort of virus
I went to command prompt and typed "Format"

It cannot format because the drive will not un mount

It tried to unmount the drive but no luck.

I attempted to close every process possible

I tried many things including right click on my computer
Nothing happens it does not recognize any more than one partition

Someone said that I may have the wrong version of DOS

Question:
Is there a freeware utility I can use to finaly format my drive

so that I can reinstall Windows XP ?

Most of my friends are away and most are guys anyway.But I like this guy that works at a restaurant I like going to with my guy friend to lunch.I think he likes me,we hold our looks for a really long time(5secs) and he does look at me,my guy friend was telling me so.Me and my friend always sit at the same place opposite the bar where the waiter works.Is that silly?I really like him so I started speaking to him from across the bar I said"When do you open"and he said "at 11,you wanna come here tomorrow again" it was a joke I think I said no I have work then my phone rang so it probably put him off we spoke for a little and then when I left he waved goodbye.I feel upset,I want to quicken up the process-I duno what to do im really attracted to him,he seems shy.help please

I'm not asking the formula of making basic pattern (i have a lot already). i'm asking for your sharing especially those who lives in usa and europe. I read western books and seems like to make basic pattern, you must purchase the simplest style pattern then make adjustment on it using a kind of technique (i saw it is similar to drappery for me). is it? have you ever tried using formula? so you don't have to purchase from available pattern? if you also tried formula, then which one is the most comfort for you, formula or adjustment technique?
and how do you make changes on basic pattern to make new style? using that 'drappery' technique again? or...???
i (we in this country) usually used formula to make a basic pattern and to change it, we also gain experienced but yes, there's still some formula for it...it's quite techinal and measureable. i mean, drappery is like not that technical (and we have math's formula to make it...each method of making has it's own formula...)

My husband and I have a pretty darn good relationship. He is very "intimate" with me when we are together, always gives me a hug and kiss when he leaves. Is there for me when I need someone to talk to. Here is my problem...I feel like he is more affectionate with our 15 yr old daughter than he is with me. Like today, he was hugging on her..etc and I have noticed that if she goes to sit by him, he always automatically puts his arm around her(all of this completely innocent of course), but when I sit by him, he does once in awhile, but I feel it is an effort. We have talked about this sort of thing before and he tells me that he believes he and I already have a connection and that he is trying to get closer to her because he feels like he is "losing his little girl"so to speak. I do try to understand that, but everytime he does this I feel left out. I try really hard to not feel this way and I never say anything in her presence. I would like honest but kind answers please and thanks.

I've been in this section for a few weeks now and something has been at the back of my mind, waiting for an answer, so I'd appreciate your personal input.

If you are an atheist, you do not believe in God, correct? This is in contrast to agnostics, who aren't sure. So if you are an atheist and do not believe in God, why would you spend any time at all at YA answering/asking questions about God? Or perhaps a better way of asking is, why do you have any interest in these Qs&As at all?

I don't mean to be rude or sound silly, but I was thinking about this last night, and I thought, if I didn't believe in something, for example, Mormonism, then I wouldn't have the first bit of interest in going to a Mormon blogsite and chatting with them. Unless of course, I was trying to learn as much as I could about Mormons in order to convert one....

Just wondering if you could give me some insight. Thanks!

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet you with the traditional Islamic greeting, 'Assalamu Alaikum', (Peace be upon you), this greeting represents the sincere effort of the faithful to spread love and tolerance among all people, whatever their language, belief, or social system.

Common misconceptions about Islam and Religious Tolerance
I would like first to begin by dispelling some of the misconceptions that have clouded the understanding of many Christians and westerners alike concerning Islam. Many believe that Islam was spread by the sword, and that Islam is synonymous with oppression, coercion and the denial of basic rights and freedoms. Furthermore, many western nations equate Islam with intolerance and extremism. Even well-educated non-Muslim thinkers, politicians, and clergymen, have persisted in clinging to this negative and erroneous image.

Im 23 years old, and usually have the feeling like my brain needs oxygen. I get the feeling of tiredness, exhaustion, light headedness when I try to exercise, and just an overall uncomfortable feeling.

I get plenty of sleep and rest, about 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, uninterrupted, not that much stress in my life or job, I just have a constant feeling of grogyness, which makes my job difficult, makes it so that I cant workout or train my MMA, cant even study to learn something new.

Also I get plenty of water, eat healthy and regularily, plenty of calories, protein, carbs. Also take daily vitamins and a good ginko biloba formula.

Anyone have any advice other than going to see a doctor, if thats your only advice please dont answer to the question, I plan on going when I have more money. Just looking to see if someone else has experienced this, and what they did to fix it for the time being. Thanks everyone.
