Smitfraud-c.toolbar888 Help Urgently Needed!!!

Hi

Looks like you need to change boot order thru BIOS. Check 'Configuring Your Computer to Boot from CD' part (in first post) here
 
Hi Blade,

Have managed to start booting up with cd but then it asks for the administrator password, I have typed this in and it is not recognising it. :sad:

Is there a way round this or will I have to find another disk with the correct administrator password?

I'm so sorry for all this inconvenience but really appreciate your patience.:red:

Many thanks,

Alison.
 
Hi

It seems you're trying to use wrong account's password. If you don't know administrator password then I'm afraid you need to reinstall system. :sad: Administrator password doesn't depend on the disc you use.
 
Yes, unfortunately you'll lose all files. If you have pictures, videos or something else that needs to be backuped I recommend to do so. Here are very good and detailed instructions about reformatting XP.
 
Hi Blade,:greeting:

I'll back up my work and then reformat the drive.

Thanks for the info, it will probably be a day or two before I can get if all done, once again many thanks for your patience.

Alison.:flowers:
 
Hi Blade,

Have now backed up all my work but when I clicked on your link for help with formatting xp it only opened up an empty window.
Just wondered if you could tell me how to go about only formatting my C drive as I don't want to lose anything off my D drive.

Thanks,

Alison. :red:
 
Hi Blade,

:sad:sorry no luck with that one either.
It just said that the requested document was not found on this server.

Hi Blade,

Sorry not been in touch sooner but have been ill.:sad:

I am stuggling to format the old drive as I don't understand what to do about the partitioning, does this have anything to do with me having two drives? Like would it think that because I have two drives there is a partition there dividing one drive into two??:scratch:

Sorry if I sound dumb but really unsure what to do.:red:

Many thanks,

Alison.
 
Hi!

Partitioning means dividing selected physical drive into one or more pieces. I'll try to bring more light to this thing with following example.

Let's assume we have two physically different drives. I format first one and decide to share the space for two different partitions. On one of these I install Windows. After installation is done and Windows has started up I can see in My Computer window three different hard drives (plus cd/dvd drive(s) if installed).

If you need further help with formatting and reinstalling Windows I recommend to ask help at forums like PC Pitstop. We focus mainly on malware removing here. :)
