I have blank Cd's but no USB thumb drives.
Can I transfer the fix onto a CD ?

The blank CD was for a method to retrieve your important data, so that you could run a destructive restore. But you need a place to put that data. Hence the thumb drive or an external hard drive.

Performing a System Recovery replaces system files and original software with the files that originally came with the computer. This process might move or remove certain files, like those stored in My Documents. Before performing a System Recovery backup important files and the files stored in the My Documents folder.

So it's a way to get to the contents of that folder and save them elsewhere before performing a recovery.

My files are backed up....so it looks like I will just have to do the destruct thing.
Thanks to all.

if you posted a little more information, that would probably be avoidable.

I don't think I've seen the Tiger bite so soon in a thread OP, it is usually after 6 posts, when the trolls come out, and argue between thereselves..

Ok you downloaded some Malware, the compy goes stupid, strange that you can't get into safe mode???

What you need to do is download antivirus, that boots at switchon from cd, and scans the Hdd boot sector, from another PC, then set as autoplay for your compy.

Otherwise, just format you hdd, and start again.

I don't see any arguments, or trolling, or tigers.
