Stuck on Boot Up Phase Due to Worm Hello fellow techies, got a problem here. My laptop's internet wasn't working, so I went onto my mom's computer to use the internet. It acquired the w32/blaster.worm (she still uses WinXP) and shutdown after a few moments. I've tried using BartPE, but it doesn't actually get to the point of a PE being useable. It finishes the BIOS portion, and stalls on the boot loader phase. Wondering what I can do to fix this. It's rather important because my mom has been using this computer for 5 years and as expected, many files on there are indispensable. Also, don't really want to have to extract the HDD etc to keep the data, due to a stricter budget. Thanks a bunch if you are able to post a fix you have used or thin
