If u got ur XP Cd with u try repairing the OS, u wont lose any of ur data while repairing

well right now im going to do a recovery and then try to install a good anti-virus... i think this is a virus not an error.

Put in your Windows XP CD, Boot it, go to Recovery, then at the prompt type help and there will be a list of options. Choose the one that writes a new master boot record, i believe its fixmbr

one lil problem.... i gotta find the cd... i dont really know if i have it.. ill check.
