My computer is seriously messed up, and I musta spent the last 5-10 days just trying to get it back on its feet.
I've tried various, various virus programs.
McAffee
Norton
Panda
AVG
AdAware (although not virus,I thought it'd help)
etc.
I tried reinstalling the operating system for some stability, then rescanned and eliminated all the virii. I thought i was cool, but then my computer died on me again.
I'm in Safe mode right now and I can't do shit.
I finally decided to format. So I made the 6 boot disks. But when I pop disk 1 into the computer and hit restart, it says "I/O error".
I don't know what to do, and all the formatting articles online talk about how to format with the boot disks. Now that I can't even use the bootdisks, I am lost.
Does anybody know how to format without bootdisks, without the system restore cd?
I only have the Windows Installation CD and nothing else. Can it be done?
Thank you so much
