Unfortunately no. I tried to boot with the burned disc and the system went to blue screen with a message to restart if it was the first time I'd seen the message and to restart in safe mode etc etc. It also had a stop message at the bottom but I didn t write it down. Sorry. Unfortunately i cannot even boot in safe mode now, the warning just keeps coming up so i am now using my work computer which has a different e-mail attached so if you could reply to mapexmonster@yahoo.com until we can get my system going again. Thanks !!!

Please get Ubuntu Linux from http://www.ubuntu.com

then use this tutorial to burn it:

When you are able to boot in to Ubuntu, reply back here, and I can help you rescue your files, and do a virus scan for the other operating system.
This is a safe, easier process if a rescue disk does not work.

Has Ubuntu been fully installed, you are able to boot in to it?

While on Ubuntu, please download avast! Linux Home Edition and install it.

When you have it installed, please let me know so we can continue the next step.

Just out of curiosity, when I installed ubuntu,I was not supposed to install it over windows was I? I chose the option, most continuous free space or something to that effect, now it says I dont have enough space to download avast.

No. It was to be merged in to a partition you would have created before installing it.

It would look like

Windows | Unallocated

We will now need to look at the partition editor.

At the beginning, upon boot, do you see something like this:

If so, can you choose Windows and boot in to it?

I will try to boot to windows and see what happens.

I cannot access windows at all and ubuntu will only run with the disc in. Should I reinstall it?
