Hi,
I am dual booting 98SE with XP Pro on two separate hard drives 98SE with 3 partitions C – D – E-with E being mainly for backups. And XP as F. with both OS’s on Fat32.
Somehow I managed to get the my doom Virus onto my 98SE system I have two AV’s one running and one as on command only with both up to date. My doom effectively shutting them down.
I only discovered them when I had EZ AV in XP running and unwittingly I had it scan the drives on 98 as well that was how I found out.
I first renamed the two infected files, went back into 98 to see if my AV there would now work but it did not it just hang both, but everything else was working. So not being to smart I went back into XP and deleted the two infected files, that’s when real trouble started. Going back into 98 nothing seems to work beginning with Windows Explorer. I do have the Recycle bins for the 98 drives set to cero in XP.
In Safe Mode it all seems to work OK sfc can’t find any missing or damaged system files, and the AV works as well not finding any more infected files. Windows 98SE is loading as normal it is only when I try to run programs they hang trying to open.
I do have my C drive backed up on E- Backup but I had done this before setting up my dual boot. Using Data Keeper. I also have a Image of C with Drive Image 2002 but again before the dual boot setup. I don’t know if I can over install 98SE or will that effectively kill my XP Boot. XP is running fine no probs at all. I am using a third party program “Acronis OS Selector” to select which OS I will start up in.
Is there a way I can bring my 98SE back to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
