Hi guys, I was running XP Pro on my laptop and I think it got infected with a virus and will no longer boot, so I reverted to trusty KNOPPIX and can boot in and backup all my files off the hard drive.
However when I come to try and re-install windows XP off the retail CD it hangs after copying over the required files.
I was wondering whethr this points to a problem with the hard disk, so I am looking for a way to fully format the hard drive from within KNOPPIX and try the XP CD again.
Appreciate any help
