My brother f'ed up the computer, and the only way i could fix this bug, probably a virus maib, was to reformat. I put the cd rom drive as my first boot device, put in my xp cd, and planned to do a reformat and fresh install. After i boot the cd, after loading the necessary preparation drivers such as scsi, raid, or ide drivers and chipset drivers and video drivers (etc..), it won't go forward to the terms of agreement page. So all i have been able to get up to is the part where it starts the winxp installation, i can't even get to the part where it asks you if u want to reformat or repair your winxp. I was able to switch the hard drive to my working comp and delete the old partition using the method above. I put it back in my broken comp and i still couldn't get to the terms of agreement page. I switched cd - rom drives with the one that i used that actually worked on my working comp, but it still wouldn't get past that point. I also cleared my cmos just in case and loaded optimized and default settings in my bios. I even reflashed the motherboard bios that i had at the time i installed xp. I just can't find out why i can't get past that point to freshly install windows xp. Please help me out.
