Ok yesterday, I started my comp for it to go to a blue screen of death. I feel that I’m pretty good with comps, so anyway I restart after blue screen. I get to the windows xp logo and after that the screen just goes black and does nothing. So I ran a diag on hard drives and I have one hard drive from dell the 160 GB that come with the comp. That one passes the diag test and then I bought a WD 320 GB internal hard drive and when I diag that it gives me a fail response and code 7.
SO I’m pretty sure that this Trojan I have has corrupted a registry file during start up. FYI the operating system is installed on the 160 GB drive. So i unplugged the wd 320 drive and system responds different it goes clear into the startup and after I put my password in you see my desktop and then of course blue screen with error message tdidid32.sys I know it’s a Trojan. So I got frustrated and tried to install a fresh copy of windows and when I do that it says it does not see and hard drives available. WHAT DO I DO?

Boot into your Bios and look for a Hard Drive setting set that is set to AHCI mode, and change it to EIDE, Legacy or Compatibility Mode. If you can't find this setting then you need to slipstream your SATA drivers for your Motherboard into your XP disc using nLite.

OK when I go into the Bios it gives me 4 option's. First of which is the factory default. (1) Raid Autodetect/AHCI. (2) Raid Autodetect/ATA. (3) Raid on. (4) Combination SATA/PATA. Now when I ask to change it to whatever it warns me that I could loose all info on hard drives. I really want to try to avoid that..
