I'm attempting to repair a friend's computer, which have the Nail.exe infection. I thought I'd just reinstall the WinXP OS; that way I can have confidence that Nail.exe is gone. However, the CD drive is not listed. It is listed in BIOS, where I have set it to be first boot. I've changed/reseated the cable. Power to the CD drive is present. I attached an USB external CD drive, which also is not listed. I suspect it is not listed because of the Nail.exe infection . . . but I am not sure. I'd appreciate any Suggestions how to resolved this problem. Thanks in advance for any response. ~ Dan --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
