Brian Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Tried doing a system restore and I get a window that pops up and says System Restore was turned off and need to contact domain administrator" or something like that. Scanned and had 2 Trojans and got rid of them. Still won't work. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably a registry change that you dont even know happened. And this is why PC's suck. Edited December 12, 2009 by RockRaines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did that and it gives you that result, it probably means that Windows can't see your HDD and you're pretty much screwed. You can either get another HDD and do a clean install on that or you can try and format your old HDD by putting it in another system as a slave drive or an external and reformatting it through Windows. That's if Windows recognizes it. Edited December 14, 2009 by chw42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 I've got a Trojan bug. I'm scanning with MacAfee like crazy but doesn't seem to fully delete it each time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
