I have a computer that will not start in any mode. It just goes to the Blue Screen of DEATH:( I am having Problems With The Unbootable system tutorial. Cannot get CD to work. Once the computer is started it goes to a black screen which reads ISOLINUX 5.01 2013 - 01 - 28 ETD and just sits there. I have let it sit there for 30 mins now and nothing. Any Suggestions?

Hello jaws1999,

Plug the flashdrive into the infected PC.

Enter System Recovery Options.

This is the screen I have when I press F8
http://forums.toshib...?v=mpbl-1&px=-1

I do not have the Repair your computer option.

P.S. Thank you for taking the time to try and help me.

Try going to Safe mode with Command Prompt.

Once there, if you are not already at a black screen with a Command Prompt go to the Command Prompt option.

If you manage to get to the Command Prompt then follow the instructions in my last post from "Select Command Prompt"

Tell me how you get on.

[jaws1999]

I tried Safe mode with Command Prompt. Once I selected it it ask me to choose a operating system. Since my only option was Windows XP pro I selected it. Then it started to boot showing several command lines on the screen. They were are the same except the last few charters. The line it stopped on ended in \agpCPQ.sys at which point it set there for a moment and the boom.... Blue screen. So I can't access it threw any option on the screen. I ran a system diagnostic and it passed. I also ran memtest86+ which also passed.

Time for a different approach.

If you have the Windows installation disk for that machine you could try the solution at the link below:

http://support.micro...kb;en-us;324764

Alternatively and probably the better approach if this is malware related is for another way using a usb stick. As before you will need to use another computer to prepare the flash drive for insertion in the compromised machine:

Download Peazip to the desktop
Run and install the programme
As it installs this page will show, deselect the AVG ticks
Press decline and it will then install cleanly



Download the following files to the desktop .. Right click the links and select save as...then select desktop

Rufus

OTLPE_standard

Right click OTLPE on your desktop and select ..Open as archive




Select OTLPE standard



Click Extract, ensure that desktop is selected



Insert the USB stick Then run Rufus

Select the ISO file on the desktop via the ISO icon.

Press Start Burn


Once the USB has burnt then

• Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to the flash drive.
  
• Reboot your infected system using the boot USB you just created.
  Note : If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from USB follow the steps here
• As the Programme needs to detect your hardware and load the operating system, I would recommend a nice cup of tea whilst it loads
• Your system should now display a Reatogo desktop.
• Locate the flash drive and run FSRT
• The tool will start to run.
  
• When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
• Press Scan button.
• It will make a log (FRST.txt) on the flash drive. Please copy and paste it to your reply.

I have tried booting threw USB to kaspersky. I set up the usb only to realize there was no option on the infected computer to boot from USB. Yet another dead end and my frustration level with this computer rises. I am searching for the start up disk, however this is a work computer (our main one to be exact) and my boss man and manager are in Orlando on a business trip and the boss normally keeps up with all the start up disk. I just haft to find them. Thanks again for helping me. I will try the USB method just to be sure. i will let you know how it turns out.

Well the owner decided to purchase a new computer. So I thank you so much for your help. I am having a new problem with the print spooler. Can I address that here or should I start a new thread? Thanks again.

I am having a new problem with the print spooler.

If it is a hardware problem you should go to the link below and post a new topic:
