I may wipe it clean and re-install. Will have to find where to get that started.

Just backup your drive and re install the OS, you probably have a virus deeply embedded in your system. Its probably a registry change that you dont even know happened. And this is why PC's suck.

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, 200916 yr by chw42
December 14, 200916 yr Author I've got a Trojan bug. I'm scanning with MacAfee like crazy but doesn't seem to fully delete it each time.
