I have a computer I'm trying to work on without much luck. It's a Dell
Dimension E521 desktop running XP media edition. Friends said they think it
has a virus or worm as it keeps popping up virus messages. It has no PS2
ports, only USB. The only drives it has are a hard drive and CD, which are
both SATA drives. The CD is seen and recognized in the BIOs, but doesn't
show in my computer. When you put a disk in it the light blinks for a while,
then stops, doesn't read the disk. There are no IDE plugs on the mobo, and I
don't have a SATA CD drive. How can I do anything with it? By the way, it
boots and runs normally except for a disk seek error on startup which you
can bypass by hitting F1. With no internet hooked up, it seems normal. Don't
see any virus messages. Where to start?
