blue screen on xp

Hi

On my pc running xp home i have a blue screen with a message saying to disable anti virus and check the disk. It also says STOP: with a series of numbers and letters after it.

I think this is a virus but i cannot get past the blue screen to run anti virus. Using F8 i have gotten to the safe mode page but when i select safe mode or last known good configuration or any other option and hit enter it goes to the blue page again.

any advise on how to get past the blue page or is there a fix i can download to a memory stick which will auto run when i turn on pc as i cannot get past blue page to run programs.

Many thanks

Hi Origin

Thank you very much for your reply.

No I cannot get to desktop. On reboot I am at the safe mode page but if I select any option I am directed to blue screen.

I wonder if this is disk damage. I had thought it was a virus but maybe not????

Any program that will autorun? Saw on a site to rename HIJACKTHIS as WINLOG.EXE to get it to run on boot but this did not work.
Our kids were on limewire berfore this happened. I know that you advise is to uninstall P2P but I cannot get access to change.

Thanks for your help.

Hello.
So I take it this machine is completely unbootable? no safe mode or normal mode?

Please download this file: Avira Rescue Disc

1. Insert a black CD into your CD draw.
   
2. Double click the rescuecd.exe file on your Desktop.
   
3. Hit the "Burn CD" button and allow it to burn, it shouldn't take too long.
   
4. Next, reboot your computer, keep the CD inside the draw.
   
5. Your computer should boot from the CD and boot to the Avira rescue disc.
   
6. Next, see this guide here: How to use the boot disc
   

hi belahzur

thanks for advise. I do not have cd drive and rescue program would not save to memory stick. A friend will burn it to cd and i will try it out. Will let you know as soon as possible.
