Hello,
Where do I go to reinstall windows xp? My screen is black after logging in. Will reinstalling windows xp delete all my other files? I could not do a system restore because it was never turn on, so there is nothing saved before I had to problem. Please help me. Yes I did have a virus.

Dear Sir,

If you want to Install Windows XP as u were using Vista... You will have to change the sata mode in your bios!

Just change to IDE

Thanks
