I have 2 computers, and awhile ago I was removing some virus with avg free, it told me i needed to restart (said that winlogon.exe was healed but had to restart to take effect),, after the reboot It loads the windows xp splash screen, then the screen goes blank, usually at the point where the monitor changes resolution and says welcome, and then restarts...Ive tried every method to boot with using f8, all with the same result...Now that Ive got the hard drive in this pc, ive ran 2 different virus and 2 different spyware/malware programs, and the drive *appears* to be clean..Is there anything i could maybe do to the registry, or somehow do a restore on the drive while in this pc?? Trying to get out of doing a wipe...And also I've tried to boot unsing the xp cd, and for some reason it doesnt detect that its a bootable cd....So am I screwed here or not? First to help gets 10 points thanks in advance...

Hi

OK , first , that wins the winlogon.exe and winit.exe are long gone , so try this , but from the good pc and copy both files to the hd that has the problem . Then , download , parition magic and open the bad hd there to restore the BOOT SEQUENCE. When you use parition magic it will ask for where it should copy the missing files and you direct it to your good hd or from the xp cd. Please let me know if this works and to help you with other ways ok

You must do a system repair using your windows xp cd. Boot your pc using the CD (ensure your CD is booted before your Hard drive in your BIOS settings under boot sequence (you can do this right when you power up by holding either the DEL or F1 key depending on your bios manufacturer)). Then do an install of XP using the repair option. This replaces only your core system files including anything AVG or the virus modified.

You have to use the Windows XP CD and use the restore feature with the hard disk connected as a Primary Master.

Alright what I'd suggest is do a FULL system scan with every antimalware program you have. IF you dont have these already, get them.

Spybot from www.safer-networking.org
Ad-Aware from www.lavasoft.com

Then run a registry cleaner using CCleaner from www.ccleaner.com or use Microsofts tool available here:

After doing that, run a disk defragment and you should be all set. I hope I helped!
