    I searched the forum and didn't find anything about it so I hope its ok to post this...Anyways I turn on my comp. and it says windows can't load. I tried loading in safe mode and all other modes but it freezes. I've tried installing it again but it was a no go. I have no idea what to do, so if some one could help that would be great. Thanx

    I tried that and it still wont load windows...its acting like the hard drives not there, but I put it in mine and it shows up along with windows...could it be some other hard ware? If so I have no idea what it could be. Is it possible that the virus/worm affected somthing eles?

    Does your BIOS correctly detect the drives?

    Check the memory speed. My comp supports PC 100 only and I put in a PC 133 and Windows wouldn't boot up. Also notice that Windows 95/98/ME have a 512 MB maximum memory size limit so don't add too much memory.
