Hi people.
I have a tricky question here. I just had a virus (I think) and I managed to remove it from the system. Then I started to have a problem when Whindows Home ed. loaded. It would stop on the WELCOME screen for about 20-30 seconds or so and then boot as normal. So, what I did is to reinstall Windows Home ed. from Toshiba Recovery DVD (which can only be accessed to completely reinstall the system with all Toshiba components, in other words, I can't use the CD to reinstall ONLY audio drivers,for example, I have to reinstall the whole system). I did reinstall everything, but I still get this 20 seconds "pause" on the WELCOME screen. I thought, it might be the Master Boot Record be damaged by a virus or smth.
The problem is that I CANNOT access FIXMBR or FIXBOOT cause they are on the f!@#ing Toshiba Recovery DVD under a password. My version of OS is Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. Can I use WinXP Professional CD to replace the MBR or it will completely f!@# the system ? Please, anyone who knows about that "freeze" on WELCOME screen or smth about the MBR, give me an advice or any help.
Thanks.
