    Booting Issue

    Hey everyone ,

    My mate asked me too look at his PC over the weekend. I booted it up and found traces of virus etc. I couldnt remove so I decided to boot into safe mode. As safe mode starts loading , the PC would jsut freeze randomly. So I tried normal mode and the same freeze would happen - when the windows logo appears.

    I then created a Kaspersky rescue boot CD and that would also freeze after booting from that. Windows CD would do the same as I was trying to attempt a recovery.

    I took the HDD out and plugged it into my PC , ran an AV scan and picked up alot of malware and cleaned it. However still freezing which ever way I try and boot into the machine.

    Any ideas? Is this hardware or software? I'm very confused at this point. I have got a HDD diagnostic CD here at work which I will try boot from but I presume it would also freeze?

    Take not that I can plug it into my PC, havent tried to boot off it though.

    Any ideas / suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
