Were the old disks just thrown out and why? Why no insurance claim? Did you clean out the "viruses"? Were there ever any disks to start with? The answers to these questions and more that might have followed could have helped you, but first you have to help yourself by providing enough information for people to get to grips with the problem. Go buy new disks. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 469399 | 2006-07-11 20:53:00 | The answer is really quite simple, no, you can't do what you want to do. So you are left with 2 options, either stay with what you have, aiming to clean up the system as best you can, or, a format, and a completely fresh reinstall. That way you start with a clean system free from any junk. | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 469400 | 2006-07-12 00:02:00 | Here is my bit . You cannot selectively backup the good files, then copy them back and be virus free . If you backup the entire computer like Norton Ghost then the whole mess will just be copied back because you are backing up the entire HDD or partition . So yeah, clean it up as good as you can or else format and get the CDs back one way or another be it from the insurance company or buy them . |
