I have a virus I need to get rid of, and am told this is my only option. Does it wipe out all of my memory or something? Please help.

Reboot, hold F10 or Delete or something, depends on your setup, then choose Repair.
Or do a Network Install, or Repair.
In Win2k there is a little thing that says Do you want to make an ERD Set? ERD is Emergency Recovery Disk, or backup.
When I get a virus I just re-install clean then may put some stuff back on from the 10 CD-RWs that I use to back up data with.
NT is a stable system, but any PC connected to the internet can and will get a virus.
Every PC will crash at some point, make a backup.
It just restores the registry to original status, it does a Highmem/Lowmem dump, and everything works again.

you would be waiting to formatt the homestead windows xp and not utilising a disk besides the incontrovertible fact that the frustrating part is that as quickly as formatting you wont be effectual to set it up as quickly as greater or you would be waiting to apply some exterior memory as properly your disk
