Bootup from CD problem [TRAP 000@C - Stormworm??]

When i try to boot up from my windows xp cd, i get this message:



TRAP 000@C ==========EXCEPTION===============

Also ive tried to burn a bootxp image to boot up with... I then got only a smiley-face on my screen (lol)

My pc is working fine though, when im booting up as normal.. ( "fine" is maybe the right word, cause my pc is pretty much loaded with viruses i think.. thats why i want to reformat my pc..)


Anyone here able to help me out on this matter?


Btw.. the tech-guys that workes where i live (a student place) forces me to format my pc before i can get the internet back. They said i got stormworm..


CPU: AMD 2800+
MB: Asus k8v

Thanks,
Regards.

 

Uhm.. im FORCED to format my computer in order to get my internet back. So my only problem is to format my pc, but thats easier said than done..

Ive now tried to boot up with UBCD with no luck.. I get the message: Image checksum error.

Regards

 

Yeap, its an authentic xp-cd

I reset my CMOS and now got this message:


TRAP 00000006 ====== EXCEPTION==============

There was some more, but i didnt write it down.


edit: problem solved after i disconnected a malfunctioned cd-drive.

 

You need to remove the partition on your disk and remake it prior to formatting.

Sounds like to boot from a CD, you need to first clear the BIOS, which should be what you've done. Please detail how you've reset your cmos (should be the same thing), because It didn't work. If you're using a notebook, that may be difficult. I don't work on notebooks, so can't direct you how to clear the BIOS. Possibly the manual can help, or someone who works on notebooks may come here.

If using a tower that you can open, suggest you disconnect power, then press the power button, and then remove the battery on the motherboard for a few seconds (e.g., 30) and replace it, scrupulously avoiding static electricity. Then you should be able to boot to the setup program and choose either defaults or failsafe if that's an option, and then boot to your CD.

There are other ways to clean the disk (putting it in another computer), but as PereC suggested, it sounds like the flashable part ot your BIOS is involved. This also is correctable. The hardware part of the BIOS can't be infected.

 

Two posts up i wrote that i reset my cmos. I took out the battery for 30 min and put it back in. No luck...
