The only other option is to get a boxed retail copy of windows and install that. However if you choose the second you will lose all of your information stored on the computer. I advise you to take caution in attempting any repairs on your computer as any data not backed up may be destroyed. I am not responsible for any data loss occurring from the repair options mentioned above.

On the back of your power supply if you slide the switch to the voltage for your house (110V or 220V) and it still doesn't work, try the following: 1. Make sure the toggle switch on the power supply is in the on position. 2. This is important; is the power cord firmly pushed into your power supply?

You seem to have done all the right things. Although I don't like 'any viruses have been removed' - I wonder what they might have done? Sounds like you sometimes get into Safe Mode.

Most OEM installations have a protected copy of Windows on a hidden sector. Maybe get in touch with makers/suppliers and ask how to access it?
