Hi,
I have recently received a true "hand me down" computer, but it's all I have to work with, so I am really trying to get it running well. (or at least better). When starting the computer, it will take easily 20 mins to go from the initial start (applying security policies, etc) then logging on, then to have the actual computer function (it takes a long time for the screen to display anything on my desktop, or for me to type/click something and have it actually open/appear on the screen) I have tried disk clean up and AVAST! virus scan, but both times the computer stops down the line and just goes to a black screen that has "Boot Error: insert disks to reboot" written on the top of the screen. I don't have the initial system disks for this computer. Is there anything that can be done? Someone suggested that it could be a virus or a corrupted hard drive, so I wanted to check. Below is my HiJack This Log:
